abstract="Increases in Hispanic youth admissions to substance abuse treatment programs for marijuana use are a growing public health concern. In this study, we investigated trends in Hispanic youth from 1995 to 2012 utilizing the Treatment Episode Data Set-Admissions of the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration. Hispanic youth marijuana admissions are associated with youth 15-17 years old, in high school, and living in a dependent situation. Notably, female admissions increased at greater rates than males. <br><br>RESULTS also point to decreasing tolerance of minor marijuana use by schools and community agencies. <br><br>FINDINGS highlight the need for targeted, culturally specific, and cost-effective treatment and prevention efforts.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
