Four years ago, Jason Kilmer, a prevention researcher and practitioner, explored the state of research on cannabis use among college students and highlighted campus prevention opportunities.
Now, four years later, the landscape surrounding cannabis use, student perceptions, and emerging research continues to evolve. In this webinar, Jason will revisit cannabis use on campus and examine the latest resources and associations with student health, mental health, academic performance, and overall well-being.
With a focus on new findings from recent studies, Jason will discuss practical prevention strategies and efforts to reduce harm on college campuses. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of the potential effects of cannabis use and actionable methods that institutions can adopt to better support student health and success.
