Discussions of Cannabis Over Patient Portal Secure Messaging: Content Analysis by Vishal A Shetty, Christina M Gregor, Lorraine D Tusing, Apoorva M Pradhan, Katrina M Romagnoli, Brian J Piper, Eric A Wright

“…We used an unsupervised natural language processing approach to construct a lexicon that identified messages explicitly discussing cannabis. We then conducted a qualitative content analysis on a random sample of identified messages to understand the medical reasons behind patients’ use, the primary purposes of the cannabis-related discussions, and changes in these purposes over time. …”
