Cannabis use disorder is the most common illicit substance use disorder in the general population. Despite that, only a minority seek assistance from a health professional, but the demand for treatment is now increasing internationally. Trials of treatment have been published; however, there is no published systematic review of treatments delivered in community or outpatient settings (the most commonly sought form of cannabis treatment).

This project aims to evaluate the efficacy of psychosocial interventions for cannabis abuse or dependence delivered in outpatient and community settings through a systematic review of the literature using Cochrane Collaboration methodology.
