Lead Story: Association of Mental Health Burden With Prenatal Cannabis Exposure From Childhood to Early Adolescence
JAMA Pediatrics
In this study, the authors credit longitudinal data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study and investigate whether associations with psychopathology last into early adolescence and past middle childhood. Prenatal Cannabis Exposure (PCE) was found to be associated with lasting vulnerability to psychopathology throughout early adolescence, and this did not change with age. Evidence that the impact of PCE on psychopathology does not improve as children enter adolescence is further warning against the use of this substance in pregnancy.
