This webinar will bring participants up to date with current trends and statistics on vaping and marijuana. We will discuss use of these substances by student-athletes and how they affect athletic performance. Finally, we will look at ways we can recognize student-athletes who may be struggling and how to connect them to the people who can help them.

At the end of this presentation, attendees will be better able to:

Identify at least two ways in which cannabis use could result in unwanted effects for those who make the choice to use.
Identify a screening measure for cannabis use disorder.
Identify at least one way in which cannabis use can impact athletic performance.
