• Special thank you to Linda Dudman and Dolores Cimini
• What I said I’d do…▫ “The purpose of this keynote is to highlight key steps in
evidence-based decision making for established fields (e.g., alcohol prevention) and fields with emerging needs demands (e.g., cannabis/marijuana prevention and intervention).”
Overview of this presentation
What you do to address substance use will pay dividends elsewhere

⚫Relationship between alcohol, sleepiness, and GPA exists in college (Singleton & Wolfson, 2009)
⚫Heavy drinking associated with lower GPA, and students at research universities who are heavy episodic drinkers are less likely to be engaged in interactions with faculty (Porter & Prior, 2007)
⚫Frequency of binge drinking associated with lower grades in college setting (Pascarella, et al., 2007)
Relationship Between Alcohol Use and Academic Success
⚫More frequent marijuana use is associated with more discontinuous enrollment, skipping more classes, and lower GPAs (Arria, et al., 2013, 2015)
⚫Any marijuana use is associated with lower GPA, and decreasing and frequent marijuana use over time is associated with less current enrollment and being less likely to graduate on time (Suerken, et
al., 2016)
Relationship Between Cannabis Use and Academic Success
⚫Alcohol and marijuana are both associated with lower GPA; when entered in same regression, effects of alcohol became non-significant (Bolin,
Pate, McClintock, 2017)
⚫Students using both marijuana and alcohol at moderate to high levels have significantly lower GPAs over two years (Meda, et al., 2017)
⚫Students who moderate or curtail substance use improved GPA (Meda, et al., 2017)

Laurie Davidson, Suicide Prevention Resource Center
“Alcohol prevention is suicide prevention…”
▪ Support peer communication to change students’ social norms about alcohol use
▪ Changing norm perceptions can decrease suicidal behavior
▪ Identify students with psychological difficulties
▪ Potentially difficult to spot with irregular sleep patterns, heavy episodic alcohol use, and other drug use

Constructing a strategic plan for alcohol prevention
STRATEGIC PLANNING
• What seems to be clear from the scientific literature?
• There’s no one “right way” or “right model” for strategic planning
• Pick the approach that best meets your needs and makes the most sense for your community!

Implications for coalitions
• Coalitions can bring key stakeholders (both on-and off-campus) to the table
•Many of the environmental strategies require the involvement of off-campus partners
•Reduce barriers to disseminating best practices by raising awareness of “what works”
•Any one thing we do is a part of an overall puzzle
“The use of effective interventions without implementation strategies is like serum without a syringe; the cure is available, but the delivery system is not.”

• Barriers can exist to dissemination, adoption, implementation, and maintenance (Rogers, 1995)
Source: Larimer, Kilmer, and Lee, 2005
Possible Barriers to Dissemination in Implementing Effective Interventions
• Published findings appear in journals not oriented to clinicians (Sobell, 1996)
▫ Often little description of steps needed to apply a treatment or intervention

cannabis needs to “catch up” with what people are
actually using, since potency is at never before seen rates

Conclusions
• 20% of new cases of psychotic disorder “could have been prevented if daily use of cannabis had been abolished (page 433)”
• If high-potency cannabis were no longer available, 12.2% of cases of first-episode psychosis could be prevented
• Numbers for Amsterdam?
▫ 50.3% of cases attributed to high potency cannabis
Second, we have to separate out placebo effects from pharmacological effects

Expectancies
Loflin, et al., 2017
• Asked participants to refrain at least 8 hours before study
• Told to plan for a variable end (1.5-6 hours depending on dose they would receive)
• Told they would be in one of three rooms (no dose, low THC, high THC)
• Cubicles (no interaction), and had to rate music and comedy clips, color designs, and compute math problems

• Used Hemp Pops▫ Hemp seed oil (no active elements of THC or CBD), glucose
syrup, citric acid, sugar, natural flavors, and colors #2 and #5
Loflin, et al. (2017)
• For example…▫ Sativa – typically described as uplifting and energetic▫ Indica – typically described as relaxing and calming
• “We would all prefer simple nostrums to explain complex systems, but this is futile and even potentially dangerous in the context of a psychoactive drug such as cannabis” (Piomelli & Russo, 2016, Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research)
• Differences in observed effects could be due to other content (which is rarely assayed) or what is reported to potential consumers
Placebo effects need to be explored

• Effects on the brain
▫ Hippocampus
Attention, concentration, and memory
▫ Research with college students shows impact on these even 24 hours after last use (Pope & Yurgelun-Todd, 1996)
▫ After daily use, takes 28 days for impact on attention, concentration, and memory to go away (Pope, et al., 2001)
▫ Hanson et al. (2010):
Deficits in verbal learning (takes 2 weeks before no differences with comparison group)
Deficits in verbal working memory (takes 3 weeks before no difference with comparison group)
Deficits in attention (still present at 3 weeks)

Cannabis Use Associated with Risk of Psychiatric Disorders (Hall & Degenhardt, 2009; Hall, 2009; Hall 2013)
• Schizophrenia▫ Those who had used cannabis 10+ times by age 18 were
2-3 times more likely to be diagnosed with schizophrenia
▫ “13% of schizophrenia cases could be averted if cannabis use was prevented (Hall & Degenhardt, 2009,
p. 1388)”
• Depression and suicide▫ “Requires attention in cannabis dependent” (Hall, 2013)

Welty, et al., 2014 (p. 251) GMP = “Good Manufacturing Practices”
Authors reviewed published literature and conducted a lit review on Medline for all articles between 1975 and 2017 that included key words of “cannabis,” “THC”, “CBD”, “Nabiximol”, “cancer”, or “pain.”
Found five studies that met criteria for inclusion.
• Schedule I substance • Lack of dosing guidelines▫ Ideally, research would need to find a dose that provides
maximum relief with minimal side effects
• As it is, optimal doses seem to vary person to person• Often are taking many other treatments (medical, herbal, or
otherwise)• Generalizability is challenging (e.g., 3 of the 5 studies had less
than 50 participants)• Trials need to consider differences in cannabinoid
pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics among individuals• Standardized and validated evaluation and reporting of side-
effects is warranted

A sample of additional scientific findings relevant to
today’s topic:Cognitive effects
Mental health effectsAddiction risk
Driving under the influence
Impaired driving and duration of effects
• Effects on the brain Authors of I-502 set DUI at 5 ng THC/ml of blood for those
over 21 (any positive value for those under 21)
Why 5 ng? Similarities in impairment to .08% for alcohol
How long does it take to drop below 5 ng?
Grotenhermen, et al., (2007) suggest it takes 3 hours for THC levels to drop to 4.9 ng THC/ml among 70 kg men
From a public health standpoint, Hall (2013) recommends waiting up to 5 hours after use before driving
New article encourages waiting at least 6 hours after use (Fischer, et al., 2017)
Driving after marijuana use decreasing (though still at high rates)
**There are declines in driving after marijuana use between cohort 3 and cohort 1 (p<.05), between cohort 4 and cohort 1 (p<.01), and between cohort 5 and cohort 1 (p<.05), as well as a significant linear trend (p<.01).**

High-risk eventsBravo et al (2017) found:• More people used
on 4/20 than weekdays or weekends
• People reported more unique sessions of use on 4/20 than weekdays or weekends
• People used more grams on 4/20 than weekdays or weekends
Staples & Redelmeier (2018)• Obtained data from US NHTSA’s
Fatality Analysis Reporting System• Began first full year after High
Times popularized 4/20 up to most recent year with complete data (1992 through 2016)
• Analyzed drivers involved in fatal crashes between 4:20 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. on 4/20 compared to same interval on 4/13 and 4/27• Controlled for weekday,
season, year, and minimized bias from changes in vehicle design, travel distances, medical care, etc.
• Drivers involved in fatal crashes on 4/20: 1,369 (7.1 per hour)• Drivers involved in fatal crashes on control days: 2,453 (6.4 per hour)
• The risk of a fatal crash was significantly higher on April 20 (relative risk 1.12, p<.001)

Coalitions can explore ways to implement
SBIRT to identify students who might
otherwise slip through the cracks
There are people who could benefit from services who might not be getting them
•72% of college students who screened positive for major depression felt they needed help
•Only 36% of students received medication or therapy of any kind

Depression
•Factors related to access:▫Unaware of or unfamiliar with service options
▫Questioned helpfulness of therapy or medication
▫Uncertainty about insurance coverage for mental health visits
▫ Less use by students who reported growing up in “poor family”
▫ Less use by those identifying as Asian or Pacific Islander

• Fairlie, Wood, & Laird (2012) collected data during summer before starting college, 10 month follow-up (spring semester of first year), and 22 month follow-up (spring semester of second year)
• Looked at social modeling (e.g., # of close friends who drink heavily, perceived friend approval of drinking and getting drunk) and parental permissiveness

Coalitions can help remind people of the context of substance
use
Project PHARM: Collecting the data
• Partnered with 7 colleges/universities during 2015-2016 academic year
– 2,989 undergraduates between 18-25 years of age
– 17.2% reported past year use of a prescription ADHD stimulant medication not prescribed to them
