    Background: While males are more likely diagnosed with cannabis use disorder (CUD), females are more susceptible to developing and maintaining CUD. Yet, for both sexes, CUD is associated with high rates of comorbid mental illness (MI).

     

    Objective(s): To identify and compare sex differences in the prevalence of comorbid CUD amongst individuals with/without MIs.
