Measure

Cannabis use: lifetime use 

Jump to data

Cannabis use during adolescence can have negative impacts on brain development, cognitive function, and mental health. This measure explores the prevalence of lifetime cannabis use among 15-year-olds, providing insights into the proportion who have experimented with cannabis at least once. Understanding the factors influencing cannabis initiation can guide prevention efforts aimed at reducing cannabis use among young people.
