as perceiving their parents’ and friends’ disapproval of adolescents’ own CU (Wu et al., 2015). In addition, disapproval of CU was associated with elevated odds of CU, and mixed-race adolescents had greater odds than white adolescents of using CU and having a past-year CUD. Because an individual’s disapproval of CU or attitudes toward use may be influenced by proximal family/social environments, and that state laws on medical or recreational cannabis may contribute to lenient CU norms (Friese and Grube, 2013; Sieving et al., 2000), future research needs to study whether contextual or community-level factors influence CU and CUD among mixed-race individuals. The TEDS has not reported treatment admissions for mixed-race individuals. The increased potency of cannabis and the fastest growing rate of the mixed-race population support the need to improve reports of substance-involved statistics for mixed-race individuals (SAMHSA, 2015).
