Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Individuals who contact the project will be screened according to the following inclusion criteria:
  • age (14-19 years old),
  • grade level (freshmen through seniors) and
  • marijuana use (smoked 9 or more days in past 30).

Exclusion

  • Individuals will be excluded if:
  • they are not fluent in English,
  • they have a thought disorder that precludes full participation,
  • they refuse to accept randomization to condition.
  • In addition to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, participants who appear to be in psychological or physical distress will be assessed further and referred to other services as appropriate. The need for other services will not necessarily preempt participation in the TMCU unless the individual is incapable or unwilling to complete the protocol. As was the case in our Stage 1b trial, all ineligible applicants will be offered a single feedback session, and the Strategies That Work booklet will be offered to those who indicate any interest in reducing or quitting marijuana use.
