Note: The different types of variables are grouped in Panels A through F, with the number of sessions and users for whom that information is available listed in parentheses. For each variable in each panel, we report the mean, standard deviation, minimum, and maximum values for that variable. Our variables are all dichotomous {0, 1} with the exception of THC, CBD, and the % of side effects variables, which are percentages range from 0 to 1, and the symptom relief measures, which are measured on a 0 to 10 scale with 0 being no discernable symptom level and 10 extreme symptom severity. Symptom change is measured as the ending symptom minus the starting symptom level for a range between −10 and 9. Starting symptom levels are restricted to range from 1 to 10, while ending symptom levels range from 0 to 10. Nineteen positive, thirteen negative, and ten context-specific side effects were available for selection in Panel F.
