Study Background
Our researchers invite you to join “PHASE 2”, a confidential research study for pregnant persons who use cannabis. With the legalization of cannabis in many states during recent years, use has become more common and more widely accepted. However, we don’t yet know enough about cannabis use during pregnancy. In this research study, we want to observe participants during pregnancy and postpartum to learn more about their cannabis use. The findings of this study might be used to help people feel better during pregnancy and help us make recommendations about cannabis use during pregnancy.
