SP - 152 EP - 156 VL - 103 IS - 2 N2 - OBJECTIVES: Assess the associations between marijuana or other illicit drug use and injury risk. METHODS: Case-control study. Cases were emergency department patients with acute injury. Age-sex matched controls were interviewed by telephone.

CONCLUSIONS: Marijuana use may be associated with a decreased risk of injury. Other illicit drug use was associated with increased risk.
