Scenario I Scenario I presents fabricated data inspired by the following study: Thurstone, C. (2013). Medical marijuana use and parenting: A qualitative study. Adolescent Psychiatry, 3, 190–194. Adult Medicinal Marijuana Users’ Attitudes Toward Teen Marijuana Use The purpose of this study was to understand the attitudes medical marijuana users had toward parenting and teen recreational marijuana use. To that end, researchers analyzed audio and video recordings of a group of 32 medical marijuana users, 11 of whom were parents. The analyses revealed that while the parents felt marijuana helped them cope with the stressors associated with parenting, they did not want their children to use marijuana. The parents also seemed to be concerned with their children finding their medical marijuana and how to broach the topic of drug use, both illicit and prescribed, with their children. These data suggest that parents who use medical marijuana struggle with their feelings associated with marijuana use. The study described in Scenario I is a _____ study.
