Article Synopsis
  • Cannabis use among adolescents and young adults is linked to cannabis use disorder (CUD) and psychosis, with high cases of CUD found in individuals experiencing first-episode psychosis (FEP).
  • Early Intervention Services (EIS) aim to address CUD through psychosocial methods, but barriers like limited access can impede their effectiveness, prompting interest in mobile health (mHealth) solutions.
  • This study outlines a pilot trial for a new mHealth intervention called iCanChange (iCC) aimed at reducing CUD in young adults with FEP, combining techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing over a 12-week program.
