It further states that at a population level, assuming a causal relationship, preventing Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) could potentially prevent a significant portion of schizophrenia cases among young males. Specifically, the statement suggests that as much as one-fifth of cases of schizophrenia in this demographic might be prevented by averting CUD.
