Is there an association between cannabis use and depression amongst youth? : A literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Både cannabisbruk och depression ökar bland ungdomar i Sverige. För att kunna förebygga och behandla krävs att inom socialt arbete ha en förståelse för varför ungdomar påbörjar ett cannabisbruk och/eller drabbas av depression.

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka om det finns en relation mellan cannabisbruk och depression bland ungdomar samt i vilken riktning relationen går.

Metod: Undersökningen görs genom en litteraturöversikt där tio artiklar i ämnet har studerats och sammanställts.

Resultat: Resultatet visar viss evidens för en koppling mellan cannabisbruk och depression.

Diskussion: Relationen påverkas av flera olika riskfaktorer som i sig påverkas av ungdomarnas bakgrund. Resultatet går dock inte att fullt ut generaliseras till Sverige då deltagarna i studierna som sammanställts är från andra länder och några av dem även från andra kontinenter.

Abstract [en]

Background: Cannabis use and depression are increasing among youth in Sweden. To be able to prevent and treat it is important to understand why young people use cannabis and also why young people get depressed. 

Aim: The aim in this study is to examine if there is an association between cannabis use and depression among youth, and to examine in what direction the association goes. 

Method: This study is a review where ten articles have been summarized and analyzed.  

Result: The result shows us some evidence for an association between cannabis use and depression.

Discussion: The result shows us that the relationship between cannabis use and depression is affected by multiple risk factors. The result can not be generalized for Swedish youth, due to the fact that the studies examined were from other countries than Sweden and some of them even other continents.
