There are concerns that increased use of marijuana among adults, especially among caregivers, may increase rates of youth marijuana use. The current qualitative study used content analysis to examine what messages caregivers convey to their children about marijuana use, whether caregivers perceive barriers to such communication, whether they disclose their own use, and level of interest in supports or caregiving resources. Participants were recruited through paid Facebook and Instagram ads. Several methods were employed to achieve a gender-balanced and diverse sample of caregivers with youth aged 8–16 years, living in states with legalized marijuana, and who reported regular marijuana use (N = 70). Caregivers completed an online questionnaire including open- and closed-ended responses about their communication with their children. Results indicated that most caregivers conveyed largely positive messages about marijuana to their children, including marijuana as medicine, natural, and conditionally acceptable to use. Negative messages included caregivers instructing their teen not to use marijuana and that marijuana use is bad and/or unhealthy for children/teens. The majority of caregivers disclosed their own use to their children, and generally did not endorse barriers to communication. Approximately half of caregivers identified a desire for more tangible and applicable communication skills based on scientific evidence to facilitate conversations with their children about marijuana. Implications are discussed for future preventive interventions for those who regularly use marijuana and are caregivers of teens. Highlights: Marijuana-using caregivers presented positive attitudes and beliefs about marijuana. Marijuana-using caregivers wanted more scientific information about how to parent in marijuana-positive environments. Facebook recruiting was fast and cost-effective for collecting data on marijuana-using caregivers. Facebook recruiting was flexible for collecting diverse samples of caregivers. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
