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.
