Changing Motives for Use: Outcomes from a Cognitive-Behavioral Intervention for Marijuana-Dependent Adults

摘要

BackgroundMotives for use have been identified as important predictors of substance use and related problems; however, little is known about how motives for use change following an intervention and how this change may impact future substance use behaviors. The present study sought to describe change in motives following an intervention for marijuana-dependent adults. Furthermore, investigators examined change in motives as a predictor of treatment outcome.
