Preteens ( = 2,690, ages 9-13) from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study (Release 4.0) were included. Structural equation modeling was conducted. Experiencing racial/ethnic discrimination was associated with higher cannabis use intention ( = 0.068,  < 0.05). Preteens who experienced racial/ethnic discrimination were more likely to perceive cannabis as more accessible ( = 0.134,  < 0.05), resulting in lower perceived harm (=-0.123,  < 0.001), which subsequently increased cannabis use intention (=-0.085,  < 0.001). These results emphasize the need for interventions to address discrimination-related trauma in preteens.enRacial/ethnic discriminationcannabis use intentionpre-adolescencesequential mediationjournal article10.1080/15332640.2025.261233941527709
