Why do women use cannabis during pregnancy?
Purpose
What does this study focus on?
Cannabis is the most commonly used substance during pregnancy, yet little is known about why women use cannabis use during pregnancy.
What is the goal of this study?
The goal of this study is to talk and listen to Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) women who are using or have used cannabis during pregnancy to better understand: 1) their motivations for using cannabis during pregnancy, and 2) their use patterns during pregnancy.
Why are we conducting this study?
We hope to: 1) understand the barriers to receiving care facing BIPOC women who use cannabis during pregnancy, and 2) identify opportunities to improve public health knowledge around maternal cannabis use.
