Exploring perceptions of cannabis use and employment implications among healthcare workers: a single-institution experience.
Article in Journal of cannabis research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundCannabis use is becoming increasingly prevalent in the United States, and its implications extend into many facets of society, including healthcare. Despite legal and societal shifts toward the acceptance of cannabis, healthcare professionals face ethical and legal complexities related to cannabis use. Understanding perceptions of cannabis use within the healthcare community is essential for developing informed drug policies in healthcare settings. The objective of this study was to better understand the changing perceptions of recreational and medical cannabis use on employment within the healthcare community.
methodsIn September 2023, a team of residents and faculty conducted an anonymous descriptive survey study targeting residents, attending physicians, and administrative staff at HonorHealth in the Phoenix metropolitan area (Arizona, USA). The survey included questions on participants’ roles in the healthcare community, their knowledge of cannabis and cannabis testing policies, and their opinions on the permissibility of cannabis use in various workplace scenarios. The survey results were summarized via descriptive statistics.
resultsThe survey received 80 responses from 258 potential respondents, yielding a 31% response rate. The survey indicated familiarity among respondents with cannabis products, support for removing cannabis from pre-employment screening, and disapproval of employment termination following positive tests, particularly for medical cannabis use.
conclusionsThe findings suggest that healthcare institutions need more information about cannabis use in these environments and highlight areas for policy review and further research to inform evidence-based approaches to drug policies that balance ethical considerations and the well-being of healthcare professionals.
