The National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), awarded a $697,438 Project Grant (CFDA 93.136 - Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs) to Northwestern University to conduct research on the impact of recreational cannabis legalization on substance use outcomes. The award, effective September 30, 2024, will support this 3-year research project that aims to investigate how changes in cannabis policies affect patterns of substance use, including opioids and other drugs, within Illinois communities. As a leading research institution, Northwestern University will leverage its expertise to provide critical insights that can inform public health strategies and interventions to address potential substance use issues associated with cannabis legalization.
