Standalone life skill-based interventions to reduce cannabis use
Summary of the evidence
Life skills programmes were found in a systematic review (Faggiano et al., 2014) to have a more positive trend than usual curricula in:
- reducing use of cannabis at <12 months follow-up (RR 0.90, 95 % CI 0.81 to 1.01, 4 studies, N=9456);
- reducing use of cannabis at 12+ months follow-up (RR 0.86, 95 % CI 0.74 to1.00, 1 study, N=2678)
