Beyond the high: exploring socioecological influences on cannabis use in older women with and without HIV
Findings highlight the complex and multifaceted influences shaping cannabis use. The application of the SEM underscores the need for a holistic approach in understanding cannabis use among older adult women with and without HIV. These insights point to the need for tailored clinical guidance and harm reduction strategies that acknowledge the unique health and social contexts of women living with HIV while addressing important policy considerations affecting this population.
