  1. CUDIT cannabis use disorder identification test.
  2. *These assessments were asked among participants who endorsed past 30-day use at ≥ 1 assessment (n = 55 at baseline, n = 50 at two months, n = 54 at four months, and n = 46 at six months). **This assessment was asked among participants who endorsed past 6-month cannabis use (n=64 at baseline, n=52 at 6-month); note that two participants are missing CUDIT score at baseline.
