Perceptions, barriers, and facilitators of cannabis screening during pregnancy and labor: A qualitative study.
Article in Drug and alcohol dependence reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Cannabis is the most commonly used federally illicit substance during pregnancy. Yet, little is known about women's lived experiences of being screened for cannabis use during pregnancy. Objective: To explore perceptions of cannabis use during pregnancy and childbirth, including experiences of being screened for cannabis use during the intrapartum period. Methods: We conducted a phenomenological qualitative study using semi-structured, online interviews with 16 English-speaking women who gave birth at a U.S. hospital within the past three months. After transcription of interview recordings, two coders analyzed data using inductive thematic analysis. We also generated descriptive statistics for sociodemographic characteristics and cannabis use behaviors. Findings: Most participants were 25-34 years of age (75 %, n=12), Black (75.00 %. n=12), and had less than a bachelor's degree (68.75 %, n=14). Participants reported low-risk perceptions of cannabis use during pregnancy and often used cannabis to alleviate mental health conditions and pain during pregnancy and childbirth. Women reported mixed perceptions of harm, using cannabis as a medicine and because they were addicted, being fearful of disclosing cannabis use due to potential involvement of child welfare and protective services, and perceiving negative provider communication a barrier to disclosing cannabis use. Conclusions: Findings underscore the importance of patient education about adverse maternal and neonatal health outcomes of prenatal cannabis use, regardless of whether disclosure occurs. To facilitate disclosure of use, close attention should be paid to verbal and non-verbal communication when screening and counseling women during pregnancy and childbirth. Additional studies are needed to further examine patient-provider cannabis-related communication, with a focus on identifying discriminatory behaviors and practices resulting in health inequities.
