Overall, 31.5% of
participants reported ever using marijuana, and male participants were more
likely to report lifetime marijuana use (40.0% of males versus 26.9% of
females, χ2 =
8.54, p =
.003). We fitted a logistic regression model in which all the covariates were
entered simultaneously, including age and age squared.
Results revealed a significant curvilinear relationship between age and marijuana use such that with each year increase in age the probability of lifetime use rose sharply (232%) among younger participants but dropped slightly (2.6%) among older participants. The following variables were positively associated with the probability of reporting lifetime marijuana use, while keeping the other variables in the model constant: being male (78.1%), parental education (17.1%), perceived stress (86%), and affiliation with marijuana-using peers (63.5%). In contrast, familism was associated with a decreased probability of reporting lifetime marijuana use (−38%).
Resilience and community violence were not significantly associated with lifetime marijuana use
