This journal article examines cannabis use and cannabis use disorder among pregnant people.
Primary Takeaways
The share of prenatal hospitalizations that involved cannabis use disorder, though small, increased between 2010 and 2018. Pregnant people with cannabis use disorder had much higher rates of depression, anxiety, and nausea than pregnant people with no substance use disorders during their hospital stays.
Overview and Objectives
More pregnant people are using cannabis than in the past, yet there are few studies about who uses cannabis and the effects its use has on pregnancy and birth. The authors wanted to know how commonly pregnant people are hospitalized with cannabis use disorder and other mental health and substance use issues.
