Use Cases

• Analyze associations between cannabis use and emotion regulation difficulties based on validated self-report measures mentioned in the description
• Identify specific domains of emotion dysregulation (e.g., impulse control, goal-directed behavior) linked to cannabis use based on the review's findings
• Compare results across studies with different participant demographics (e.g., gender-specific effects) based on the heterogeneous findings described
• Support the design of longitudinal or neurocognitive studies based on the review's discussion of future research needs

Strengths

• The review follows a systematic methodology, registered with PROSPERO and funded by the Health Research Board.
• It synthesizes findings from four studies with a total sample size of 3,801 participants.
• The analysis focuses on validated emotion regulation measures (ERQ, DERS, CERQ).

Limitations

• The dataset is a single 505.9 KB DOCX file; its structure and content are not detailed.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; data semantics must be inferred after download.
• The review's findings are based on only four cross-sectional studies, indicating a limited evidence base.
