3. Data analysis-
42 patients with cannabis dependence were approached. The patients with
unreliable history, not accompanied by FDR, with altered consciousness
were excluded. After 20 subjects are included, along with their FDR; an
interim analysis was done. 12 patients were excluded after interim
analysis as their mean age was not in sync with mean age of FDR group.
As per plan, all participants were group matched with respect to age,
education and gender. In this study SPSS version 15.0software was used.
Shapiro-Wilk test was done to check whether continuous variables were in
normal distribution. Most of our continuous variables including age,
income and scores of cognitive functioning followed a skewed
distribution, and so non-parametric tests were used. Kruskal-Wallis
tests were used to delineate significant difference across three groups.
For post-hoc test serial Mann-Whitney tests were used.
