Cohort Study of Cannabis Use History and Perinatal Cigarette Use Among Overweight and Obese Women.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

In non-pregnant populations, cannabis use and cannabis use disorder (CUD) have been linked to tobacco use and less successful quit attempts. We compared perinatal cigarette use in women across 3 groups: never used cannabis (No CU group); used cannabis but did not meet CUD criteria (CU group); history of CUD (CUD group).

Methods

Interviews with 257 pregnant women with overweight/obesity (M age = 28 years; 52% white) were conducted for a study of eating behavior in Western Pennsylvania from 2012-2016. Tobacco use was assessed early in pregnancy (< 20 weeks gestation), late in pregnancy (34-38 weeks gestation) and 6 months postpartum. CUD was measured with the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID). Data relevant to the proposed analyses were available for 2
