摘要

The aims of this study were to determine the mediating role of marijuana use in the association between ACEs and SCD and the potential differences by race/ethnicity and sexual orientation. Data were obtained from the 2023 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (N = 21,132). Mediation analysis was used to determine the mediating role of marijuana use between ACEs and SCD. Adjusted analyses controlled for sociodemographic and health status confounders. Overall, there was a direct association between ACEs and marijuana use (β = 0.300, p < 0.001), marijuana use and SCD (β = 0.003, p < 0.001); and between ACEs and SCD (β = 0.016, p < 0.001). Marijuana use mediated the association between ACEs and SCD in the overall population (β = 0.001, p < 0.001). Specifically, marijuana use mediated the association between ACEs and SCD among heterosexual (β = 0.001, p = 0.001) and White (β = 0.001, p < 0.001) respondents. Future research should examine additional pathways between ACEs and SCD, especially for racial/ethnic and sexual minoritized populations.
