摘要

Cannabidiol (CBD) is associated with medical and mental health benefits, yet over-the-counter (OTC) CBD-containing products marketed for commercial purposes may pose health risks. To examine perceived risks and benefits of OTC CBD-containing products among 5,510 young participants who reported using CBD-containing products (CBD-only), both CBD-containing and other cannabis-derived products (CBD + other cannabis-derived products), or neither. Participants completed substance use measures and the CBD-containing Products Perceived Risks and Benefits Questionnaire (CBD-Q-risks). The CBD-Q-risks comprised two factors (F1: Beneficial effects on functional, physical, and mental health; F2: Adverse effects). Across groups, 18.7–37.9% of participants responded ‘do not know’ on CBD-Q-risks items, reflecting limited knowledge of CBD-containing products’ effects. Users of CBD showed greater perceived benefits of CBD-containing products (e.g., coping, sleep and pain) than non-users. Among non-users, males perceived more benefits and fewer risks of CBD-containing products. Prevention should address CBD products, including their perceived risks and benefits.
