Talented students must be developed all the way from PhD to professorship.

No more silo mentality in an ivory tower. The university needs to share its knowledge with the community.

In most western countries, the most prevalent type of illicit substance-use dependence in most is cannabis dependence. Historically, cannabis has been associated with several music genres, and the drug is widely used at music festivals.
Methods
Based on a survey of 380 music festival guests, we estimated the prevalence of cannabis dependence, as defined by a score of 3 or more on the Severity of Dependence Scale, as well as festival goers' use of cannabis during the past year.
Results
143 (38%) reported having used cannabis within the past year (past year cannabis users), and of these respondents, 21 (15%) screened positive for cannabis dependence. Compared to non-dependent cannabis users, the cannabis dependent respondents were more likely to be daily smokers, they reported having attended fewer music festivals during their lifetime, and they scored higher on self-reported sensation seeking. Compared with past-year non-users, both dependent users and non-dependent users were more likely to be men. These two groups were also more likely to be weekly heavy drinkers, daily smokers, and to score high on sensation seeking.
Discussion
Out of the past-year cannabis users recruited at a music festival, one in seven of those respondents showed indication of cannabis dependence. This suggests a need for both available treatment options and primary prevention of dependence.

### UNIT NAME ### is part of Business and Social Sciences, which is accredited by EQUIS (European Quality Improvement System).
As part of the academic development process at Aarhus University, the Aarhus School of Business (ASB) and the Faculty of Social Sciences (SAM) merged to become the new main academic area called Business and Social Sciences.
You can still go to www.asb.dk/en (ASB) and samfundsvidenskab.au.dk/en (SAM), but these websites will be closing soon.

The university’s website is being redesigned. The design and content will therefore change, and you may experience for a while that old and new sections are mixed together, and that the content is not in its usual place.
We hope that the new website will make up for any inconvenience, and that you will enjoy greater coherence throughout and find the website simpler to use.
In the time ahead, you will notice a mixture of old and new designs in the pages on the website.
In spring 2011, Aarhus University’s nine main academic areas were reduced to four, and the fifty-five departments became twenty-six. This was to unify the organisation and to strengthen the university’s interdisciplinary approach. We are now following suit by restructuring the entire website to ensure more coherence in the content and design.
Such an exercise takes time – and we hope you will bear with us!
Under the HOT KEY at the top right, you can find links to the most frequently used content on the website, as well as the two new universes for staff and students.

Use the new mega dropdowns to get an overview of the website’s content. They open when you run your mouse over the navigation at the top.
