If we were able to gain more insight into different subgroups of cannabis users based on help-seeking preferences, we could use this information to inform the development and promotion of interventions targeted at specific subgroups of cannabis users, to ultimately narrow the treatment gap. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Methods:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; An online survey was conducted among 1,015 Dutch frequent cannabis users (18\u201372 years) to assess their cannabis use, help-seeking preferences, psychopathology, and psychological distress. Latent class analysis was used to identify classes of cannabis users based on their help-seeking preferences. Differences between the identified classes in terms of sociodemographics, cannabis use, and psychopathology were examined. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; We identified four classes with distinct preferences for support. Class 1 (\u201cno support\/only social,\u201d &lt;i&gt;n&lt;\/i&gt; = 548) had a low probability of finding any form of support appealing other than social support. Class 2 (\u201conline help,\u201d &lt;i&gt;n&lt;\/i&gt; = 170) had relatively high probabilities of finding online help appealing. Class 3 (\u201cGP\/outpatient,\u201d &lt;i&gt;n&lt;\/i&gt; = 208) had a relatively high probability of finding support from the general practitioner and outpatient substance use disorder treatment appealing. Class 4 (\u201call sources,\u201d &lt;i&gt;n&lt;\/i&gt; = 89) had moderate to high probabilities for all sources of support. In terms of sociodemographics, differences between the classes were found with regard to gender and level of education. The classes were fairly similar with regard to cannabis use, only the \u201conline help\u201d class scored significantly lower on both cannabis use frequency and quantity compared to most of the other classes. In terms of psychopathology, the \u201cGP\/outpatient\u201d class and the \u201call sources\u201d class experienced more cannabis use-related problems and were more likely to report multiple past quit attempts than the \u201conline help\u201d class and the \u201cno support\/only social\u201d class. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusions:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; Our study shows that there is a lot of inter-individual variation in how appealing various forms of help are to cannabis users. Our findings emphasize the importance of promoting a variety of treatment modalities for cannabis users, including real-life and digital options, and indicate what might appeal to whom. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000524938","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,23]],"date-time":"2022-06-23T21:00:35Z","timestamp":1656018035000},"page":"331-339","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Identifying Subgroups of Cannabis Users Based on Help-Seeking Preferences: A Latent Class Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Marleen I.A.","family":"Olthof","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matthijs","family":"Blankers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Margriet W.","family":"van Laar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna E.","family":"Goudriaan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.drugalcdep.2013.06.009"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1465-3362.2011.00313.x"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.drugalcdep.2013.08.011"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1094428117744021"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1178221820902237"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/add.12226"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.addbeh.2014.09.003"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-0167.45.3.265"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/s0033291700048017"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyt.2020.563761"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mpr.1523"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/bf02294359"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/bf02294360"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/bf01246098"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/2347790"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0081175012470644"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00127-018-1537-7"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0163278714529970"},{"key":"ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.drugalcdep.2019.03.016"},{"key":"ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10550490252801648"},{"key":"ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1360-0443.2002.00083.x"},{"key":"ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0306-4603(91)90016-b"},{"key":"ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.ps.201400047"},{"key":"ref24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pec.2019.12.015"},{"key":"ref25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.addbeh.2011.11.025"},{"key":"ref26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000503625"}],"container-title":["European Addiction Research"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/524938","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/524938","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T14:58:27Z","timestamp":1745420307000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000524938"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022]]},"references-count":26,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,12]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,20]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000524938","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{"is-supplemented-by":[{"id-type":"doi","id":"10.6084\/m9.figshare.20130740","asserted-by":"subject"}]},"ISSN":["1022-6877","1421-9891"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1022-6877","type":"print"},{"value":"1421-9891","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022]]}}}
