By Bhavana KunkalikarMar 6 2023Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. In a recent study published in The American Journal of Preventive Medicine, researchers assessed the impact of cannabidiol on the driving performance of humans.
About the study In the present study, researchers determined the viability and impact of cannabidiol on driving performance. Taking into account a 15% attrition rate, 40 participants were recruited. All students received email advertisements. Almost 58 people were screened and scheduled for assessment with standardized criteria. Urine samples submitted by participants were immediately tested. If a participant's sample was negative, they performed a 10-minute practice drive, which included simulation sickness practice and screening.
The second outcome was the overall percentage of time the participant drove outside the center line or shoulder of the roadway. The third outcome was the total number of collisions. The time duration of the initial collision was the time that transpired between the start of the simulation and the first collision. Mean brake reaction time was the average time it took a participant to apply the brakes after exposure to stimuli.
