In this webinar, Kelly Young-Wolff, PhD, MPH (a licensed clinical psychologist and research scientist at the Kaiser Permanente Northern CA Division of Research) will describe what is known about prenatal cannabis use trends and health consequences using data from Kaiser Permanente Northern California’s large integrated healthcare delivery system. We will discuss why pregnant individuals use cannabis and describe disparities in prenatal cannabis use and related outcomes. We will end with a discussion about the potential harms of punitive policies that penalize or criminalize prenatal substance use.
