Data are presented as the number (percentage) of participants unless otherwise indicated.
Based on logistic regression assessing the associations with impairment.
Adjusted values were calculated using the false discovery rate method.
n = 67.
Estimates within treatments showed an association in the THC group only.
n = 111.
n = 110.
n = 66.
n = 65.
Numeric variable (not included in calculation of total clues).
Numeric variable for estimate of when 30 seconds had passed (not included in calculation of total clues).
