Cannabis use and suicidal behaviours in high-school students

The aim of the study was to evaluate the relative contributions of cannabis use, depressive and anxious symptoms in the prediction of suicidal behaviors. Participants were 248 high-school students who completed questionnaires assessing cannabis use, suicidal behaviors, depressive and anxious symptoms. Cannabis use was a significant independent predictor of suicidal behaviors after adjustment for depressive and anxious symptoms.
