What this trial studies

This interventional study tests a mobile app that provides brief normative feedback and standard information about safe cannabis use. The goal is to determine whether the app can influence safer usage patterns among adult French-speaking cannabis users. Participants must be 18 or older, self-report cannabis use in the past month, own a smartphone, and read French. The study is led by CHUM with the Université de Montréal and takes place in Montreal, Quebec.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the app could help adults use cannabis more safely and reduce related risks.

How similar studies have gone: There is prior work on digital tools for safer substance use, but results vary and this study explores a similar approach in a French-speaking population.
