abstract="To examine the relationship between marijuana risk perceptions and marijuana use, and assess the potential moderating role of stress among Black students from a historically Black university, a convenience sample of students (n = 213) was surveyed. The majority (87.9%) of the sample was Black and 52% were female. Over a third (35.1%) reported past 30-day marijuana use, and a majority (58.4%) reported no or slight risk from using marijuana once or twice weekly. Higher marijuana risk perceptions were associated with lower odds of marijuana use (OR =.45, 95% CI [0.32, 0.64]). No significant relationship between stress and marijuana use was found. Perception of marijuana risk warrants further examination as a predictor of marijuana use.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
