  • Title: Marijuana and other illicit drug use and the risk of injury: A case-control study.
    Author: Vinson DC.
    Journal: Mo Med; 2006; 103(2):152-6. PubMed ID: 16703715.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: Assess the associations between marijuana or other illicit drug use and injury risk. METHODS: Case-control study. Cases were emergency department patients with acute injury. Age-sex matched controls were interviewed by telephone. RESULTS: Marijuana use in the past seven days was associated with decreased risk, and use of other illicit drugs was associated with increased risk. Controlling for confounding had little effect. CONCLUSIONS: Marijuana use may be associated with a decreased risk of injury. Other illicit drug use was associated with increased risk.
