The Association Between Adverse and Positive Childhood Experiences and Marijuana Use During Lactation.

ABSTRACT: Background: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are associated with substance use later in life, including marijuana use. It is unknown whether these behaviors extend to lactating women. Our objective was to examine the association between childhood ACE and marijuana use in lactating individuals and determine whether positive childhood experiences (PCEs) modified this association. Methods: This study included 617 lactating individuals from the UC San Diego Human Milk Research Biorepository enrolled from 2015 to 2020. ACE and PCE histories were assessed by the Positive and Adverse Childhood Experiences questionnaire. Past 2-week marijuana use was self-reported at enrollment. Multivariable log-linear regressions were used to calculate adjusted risk ratios (aRRs)
