Respondents were asked to report the average amount of joints they used on a typical use day before and after lockdown measures were introduced. This table reports if respondents increased, decreased or used the same amount of joints on an average day of use. Only respondents who reported to have used joints before and after the introduction of the lockdown measures were included (n = 1,414).
This category included respondents who reported to use: a few times a week (71.8%, n = 125), once a week (12.1%, n = 12), a few times a month (8.0%, n = 14), once a month and a few times a year (8.0%, n = 14). – number of respondents too low to report average. Bold values indicates P < 0.05, a significant difference between number of joints before and after lockdown.
