AB  - Background: The present study investigated the mediating role of protective 
      behavioral strategies for marijuana (PBSM) on the relationship between 
      posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and marijuana outcomes (i.e. marijuana use 
      frequency, marijuana use quantity, cannabis use disorder (CUD) symptoms, and 
      marijuana-related problems). Methods: Participants were 1,107 traditional age 
      college students (M(age) = 20.26, SD = 3.32; 66.5% White, non-Hispanic; 68.8% 
      female), who reported consuming marijuana at least once in the last 30 days and 
      completed measures of PTSD symptoms, PBSM, and marijuana-related outcomes. 
      Results: PBSM significantly mediated the positive relationships between PTSD 
      symptoms and both CUD symptoms and marijuana-related problems. More specifically, 
      PTSD symptoms were negatively associated with PBSM, which in turn was negatively 
      associated with marijuana use frequency and marijuana use quantity, which were in 
      turn positively associated with CUD symptoms and marijuana-related problems. 
      Conclusion: Taken together, the associations between higher PTSD symptoms and 
      greater experience of CUD symptoms and marijuana-related problems may occur 
      because students use fewer PBSM and thus engage in larger quantity and frequency 
      of marijuana use. These findings lend support to the utility of targeting PBSM as 
      a harm reduction effort for students with PTSD symptoms who use marijuana.
