WE START THE FIELDWORK OF THE DuCATA STUDY: AN INNOVATIVE STUDY ON CANNABIS-TOBACCO!!

The Tobacco Control Unit at the Catalan Institute of Oncology is leading the DuCATA project addressed to cannabis users who are assisted in substance abuse program (SAP) centers to quit or reduce this substance.

The aim of the study is to characterize the consumption pattern of cannabis and tobacco and its withdrawal syndrome through a gamified webapp. Participants in the study will report their consumption and symptoms for 6 weeks while using a webapp that has been designed. The webapp reports the story of three ex-cannabis users who share their journey of overcoming the addiction while challenging participants through several games.

The fieldwork of this study will begin in March 2023 in two pilot centers. The research team of the DuCATA project invites SAP clinicians from all over Catalonia to participate in this research proposal.
