Perceptions of Health Risks and Benefits of Cannabis Use Among College Students: Prevalence and Associations With Cannabis Use.

Objective: Health decision-making is influenced by perceived health risks and benefits. Greater understanding of these perceptions in college students, a population engaging in high rates of risky cannabis use, is needed. The primary aim of the current study was to examine both perceived risks and benefits of cannabis for short- and long-term health consequences and how these perceptions relate to cannabis use and related problems.
