Associations Between Prenatal Cannabis Exposure and Childhood Outcomes
Sarah E. Paul
Of those with reported data, 87.0% of those in the exposure only before maternal knowledge group (287 of 330) and 92.7% of those in the exposure after maternal knowledge group (140 of 151) reported using cannabis at least once per day; groups did not differ in reported frequency of use during pregnancy (t = 0.43; P = .67). Collectively, these findings suggest that prenatal exposure after maternal knowledge of pregnancy may plausibly be independently associated with child outcomes, while associations with exposure only before maternal knowledge of pregnancy may be attributable to confounding variables, such as familial and pregnancy-related factors correlated with cannabis use and/or offspring outcomes.
