Even though marijuana is illegal on the federal level, it is one of the most used drugs in the United States during pregnancy. Our study investigates the relationship between numerous socioeconomic, demographic, and mental health risk variables and substance use during pregnancy. We examined data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health from 2017 to 2019. Compared with the no serious psychological distress (SPD) group, the odds of using cannabis were higher in pregnant women with past-month SPD. In this study, in comparison with unmarried pregnant women, married pregnant women had a 67% lower chance of currently using cannabis. Racially, Hispanic pregnant women had 3 to 4 times higher odds for current use of cannabis as compared with the other races. Preventing cannabis use and its adverse effects by screening pregnant women could be part of the current strategy for reducing cannabis use.
尽管大麻在联邦层面上是非法的，但它是美国怀孕期间使用最广泛的毒品之一。我们的研究调查了众多社会经济、人口统计学和心理健康风险变量与怀孕期间物质使用之间的关系。我们研究了 2017 年至 2019 年全国毒品使用和健康调查的数据。与无严重心理困扰 (SPD) 组相比，过去一个月有 SPD 的孕妇使用大麻的几率更高。在这项研究中，与未婚孕妇相比，已婚孕妇目前使用大麻的几率降低了 67%。在种族方面，与其他种族相比，西班牙裔孕妇目前使用大麻的几率要高出 3 到 4 倍。通过对孕妇进行筛查来预防大麻的使用及其不良影响，可以成为减少大麻使用的当前策略的一部分。
