Abstract

Cannabis use among Ugandan medical students is common and associated with relationship status, religion, and time at campus. Coping profiles suggest greater reliance on maladaptive strategies among users. Findings support campus policies and mental-health programs that integrate substance-use screening and strengthen adaptive coping skills.
