AB  - Although the use of psychedelics to impact health has seen growth, little 
      research has tested the effects of culture conditions on the relationship. More 
      specifically, how does marital status and family size affect the relationship 
      between psychedelics and health? This study tests the relationship between 
      Lifetime Classic Psychedelic Use (LCPU), marital status, and household size 
      (number of people living in a household) on levels of psychological distress in 
      the past 30 days. This project uses pooled data from the National Survey of Drug 
      Use and Health (NSDUH) (2010 to 2018) (N = 674,521). The Final sample size is 
      determined by the dependent variable, psychological distress in the past month (n 
      = 158,633). The analysis includes a series of nested logistic regression models 
      conducted in Stata 17. Results indicate that LCPU is independently associated 
      with better health, but the association between LCPU and health varies across 
      levels of household size. Larger households are associated with higher levels of 
      distress, which are then exacerbated among psychedelics users. Furthermore, 
      three-way interactions reveal that the negative association between household 
      size and distress gets larger among psychedelic users who are married, divorced, 
      and widowed. Overall, results suggest that household size negatively impacts the 
      association between LCPU and health, with those who are married, divorced, and 
      widowed experiencing the worst outcomes.
