TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Functions of Marijuana Use in College Students JO - Journal of college student development A1 - Bates, Julie K. A1 - Accordino, Michael P. A1 - Hewes, Robert L. SP - 637 EP - 648 VL - 51 IS - 6 N2 - Hierarchical regression analysis was used to test the hypothesis that specific functional factors of marijuana use would predict past 30-day marijuana use in 425 college students more precisely than demographic variables alone. This hypothesis was confirmed. Functional factors of personal/physical enhancement as well as activity enhancement were significant predictors of 30-day marijuana use. Furthermore, this model explained over half of the variance of students' monthly marijuana use. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.
