Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This trial studies attitudes about legalization of marijuana use in participants with cancer. Questionnaires may help doctors to learn about and compare the attitudes that patients in non-legalized and legalized states have towards the legalization of medical marijuana.

- timeFrame
- Up to 1 year
- description
- Will be defined as answering "Completely Agree" or "Slightly Agree" to the question 1 in Marijuana Survey for Patients. The number of subjects with positive attitude towards legalizing medical marijuana will be compared between patients from Texas and Arizona States using one-sided Fisher's exact test or chi-squared test, whichever appropriate. A logistic model will be used to assess the effect of state of residency, adjusting for other covariates such as gender, age, race, etc. Will employ inverse probability of state weighting using the propensity score on all patients to estimate the difference in attitudes of marijuana use between the states. In the weighted sample, will also compute the standardized differences to evaluate the balance of baseline covariates between the two states. The propensity score model may be adjusted to further minimize some of the residual difference in the distribution of the baseline covariates between the two states.
