- Application of Cannabis Use Intention Questionnaire (CUIQ) to First Year University StudentsPublication . Teodoro, Inês; Torres, Hugo; Venâncio, Nuno; Moutinho, Guilhermina; Auxtero, Maria DeolindaCannabis is the illegal drug most used worldwide. Its long-term use increases the risk of depression and schizophrenia, causing a major public health problem. A validated questionnaire was applied to first year students of Instituto Universitário Egas Moniz to assess their intention regarding cannabis use. They do not consider cannabis to be much associated with well-being, they slightly consider the opinion of relatives, and they show a low intent to use the drug, believing themselves to have strong self-control. Scores are above average for 18-y.o. Portuguese students, except for belief in self-control.
