Individuals seeking treatment for cannabis-related problems in Ontario: demographic and treatment profile
Abstract
We report on the extent of cannabis treatment-seeking within an addiction treatment system in Canada. Data represent all new admissions in fiscal year 2000 to substance abuse treatment agencies in the province of Ontario (n = 47,995). Analyses examine the prevalence of cannabis problems by demographic and treatment characteristics and provide contrasts with other client subgroups (alcohol, cocaine, and opiates). Clients reporting cannabis as their primary problem substance (13%) were more likely to be male, single, under age 20 and in high school. Legal system involvement and school- or family-based pressure to enter treatment were commonly reported, but less so by older cannabis clients. The distinctiveness of these clients within the larger treatment system raises questions of the relevance to cannabis clients of interventions designed for other substance-abusing populations.

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.
