Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA), a Harvard Medical School teaching affiliate based in East Cambridge, Massachusetts, received a $776,604 Project Grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) awarded June 15, 2026. The grant funds a convergent parallel mixed methods research initiative examining the impact of recreational cannabis legalization (RCL) on cannabis, nicotine, and alcohol (CNA) use patterns and associated health outcomes among adolescents and young adults (AYA) aged 12-25 with mental illness through March 31, 2031. The research project delivers comprehensive epidemiological analysis and qualitative research products utilizing two primary national datasets: the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH, 2010-2025) and the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study (2018-2025). Specific deliverables include quantitative assessment of RCL's causal effects on CNA prevalence, intensity, risk perception, and disorder diagnoses through advanced longitudinal causal inference methodologies, longitudinal outcome analysis tracking time from substance initiation to disorder development, and contextualized qualitative interview findings from the target population. This research addresses a significant gap in understanding how cannabis legalization specifically affects substance use vulnerability and disorder progression among youth with mental illness, a population identified as particularly high-risk given documented increases in cannabis use disorder diagnoses from 29.2% to 59.4% among adolescent users between 2019 and 2022.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
