About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine 1) feasibility of the MOMENT-V intervention for cannabis use disorder in young adults, 2) feasibility of conducting the trial remotely, and 3) whether the MOMENT-V intervention reduces cannabis use frequency and problems. Researchers will compare the MOMENT-V intervention to usual care enhanced by a counselor meeting.
