Highlights Qualitative data from a 7-year national cohort study of youth health behaviors. Study evaluated perceptions of riding with a cannabis-impaired driver (RWI). Two themes described RWI-cannabis facilitators: Driving Context and Trust in Driver. Legal concerns were a deterrent for RWI-cannabis. Safety concerns emerged in later years and were a deterrent for RWI-cannabis.

    Abstract Objective To explore decisions and perceptions of engaging in riding with a cannabis-impaired driver (RWI) during high school and young adulthood to build context around RWI-cannabis events. Methods Participants were sampled from the NEXT Generation Health Study (NEXT), a 7-year national cohort study of adolescent health behaviors. Four RWI and driving while impaired (DWI) trajectories classes (i.e., Abstainer, Escalator, Decliner, Persister) were previously derived.A theoretical model based on ecological systems theory guidedin-depth semi-structured interviews to includecomplex, social-developmental and environmental multi-level factors affectingpersonal experiences with RWI-cannabis during high school, after high school, and during young adulthood. Participants (n = 105) were purposively selected from each trajectory class for follow-up, in-depth, qualitative interviews. All interviews were conducted via Zoom between March and September 2020. Results Two unique themes emerged as facilitators of RWI-cannabis: “Driving Context” and “Trust in Driver”. “Legal Concerns” and “Concerns with Safety Emerge with Age” were themes that described deterrents to RWI-cannabis. Conclusions Current data suggest that youth RWI-cannabis occurs during daytime hours and while driving to everyday activities. Youth report legal concerns as a potential deterrent to RWI-cannabis in high school and concerns for safety emerge in young adulthood. The multifaceted nature of RWI-cannabis among young drivers identifies potential complexities for programming designed to reduce RWI/DWI-cannabis.
