Abstract

We randomized 332 women, 18-24 years old, who were not explicitly seeking treatment for their marijuana use to either a two-session motivationally focused intervention or an assessment-only condition. Assessed by timeline follow-back methodology, participants reported using marijuana 57% of days in the 3 months prior to study entry. Intervention effects on the likelihood of marijuana use were not statistically significant at 1 month (odds ratio [OR] = 0.77, p = .17), significant at 3 months (OR = 0.53, p = .01), and no longer significant at 6 months (OR = 0.74, p = .20). Among the 61% of participants endorsing any desire to quit using marijuana at baseline, significant intervention effects on the likelihood of marijuana use days were observed at 1 month (OR = 0.42, p = .03), 3 months (OR = 0.31, p = .02), and 6 months (OR = 0.35, p = .03). A two-session brief motivational intervention reduced marijuana use among young women not seeking treatment. Women with a desire to quit showed a greater and more durable response.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • MET demonstrated superior outcomes compared with inactive controls.

    “and with inactive controls 37, 38.”

    From Psychosocial and pharmacological interventions for the treatment of cannabis use disorder (2018) · cites this paper as [38]

    The Methods (§2.2; page not provided) describe an assessment-only control group, and the Results (§3; page not provided) report a significantly larger reduction in marijuana use with the intervention at three months. The paper calls the intervention motivational interviewing (MI), not MET, and the between-group differences were not significant at one or six months. The claim therefore overgeneralizes both the intervention label and the duration of its superior outcome. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
