Text

No differences were discovered between AA and EA women in cannabis use, first age of initiation, age at first CUD symptom, or transition time from first use to first CUD symptom(Table 2). However, of those who had used cannabis, AA women were significantly more likely to experience a CUD problem (X2 = 7.95, p = .009) than their EA counterparts. AAs were also more likely to be diagnosed with PTSD [total sample: (X2 = 16.25, p < .001); trauma-exposed: (X2 = 4.86, p = .04)] and MDD (X2 = 9.13, p = .004). AAs reported a higher prevalence of sexual abuse (X2 = 17.15, p < .001), physical abuse (X2 = 162.70, p <.001), witnessing injury or death (X2 = 45.54, p < .001), and experiencing a life threatening accident (X2 = 20.88, p < .001) than EA women. No differences were found in prevalence of experiencing a natural disaster between EA and AA women.
