| Popis: | Objective: To examine the role of ethnic identity in cannabis use, and links between ethnic identity, cannabis use and life outcomes, in a birth cohort of >1000 young people studied to age 25. Methods: Data were gathered on cultural identification, cannabis use, socioeconomic factors, childhood adversity, and a range of life outcomes as part of a longitudinal study of a New Zealand birth cohort (Christchurch Health and Development Study). Results: Those reporting Māori identity had rates of cannabis use and dependence that were significantly higher (p Conclusions: Māori ethnic identification was associated with increased risks of cannabis use and dependence. The higher rate of cannabis use by Māori could be largely attributed to a combination of socioeconomic factors and greater exposure to environmental factors known to influence risk of cannabis use. The higher rates of cannabis use by Māori made a small contribution to higher rates of early school leaving, crime, and unemployment among Māori. |
