Overview
We have applied a sex, gender and equity based analysis to many of the surveys that capture prevalence and patterns of cannabis use. In order to tailor health promotion, prevention, support, treatment and policies on cannabis, it is important to understand prevalence and patterns of use disaggregated by sex and gender, at minimum. Analyzing use by various sub-populations (age, culture, race, sexuality, gender identity, location, income, etc.) is also important for tailoring responses that support safe use, prevention or treatment. Take a look at the resources below to learn about sex, gender and patterns of use.
