Our Projects.

Our main projects (1) examine the non-acute effects of cannabis use on health using case-control and prospective, longitudinal designs, and (2) test the utility of a novel technology, retinal imaging, to shed light on mechanisms underlying risk for psychosis and other psychiatric problems.

Project 1. Cannabis Use and Young Adult Health

​

We're recruiting young adult cannabis users and non-users and comparing them on self-reported mental health, self-reported physical health, laboratory measures of physical health, and cognitive test performance.

Project 2. Psychotic-Like Experiences and Retinal Vessel Caliber

 

The purpose of this study is to test whether retinal vascular signs can differentiate young people who have psychotic-like experiences from those who do not.
