Perception of Risk of Harm from Cannabis Use Among Women of Reproductive Age with Disabilities.
Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research 2024 March 6
Objectives: To examine perceived risk of harm from weekly cannabis use among reproductive-aged women with disabilities. Methods: Using data from the 2021 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, we assessed perceived risk of harm associated with weekly cannabis use among women of reproductive age by disability status. Disabilities included sensory, cognitive, and those related to daily activities. Logistic regression was employed to examine correlates of risk perception associated with weekly cannabis in this subpopulation of women. Results: A significantly higher percentage of women with any disability perceived no risk associated with weekly cannabis use (37.9%) compared to those with no disabilities (26.1%). Approximately, 60.0% of women with disabilities who used cannabis in the past 12 months perceived no risk of harm from weekly cannabis use. Overall, women with disabilities and cannabis use in the past 12 months had higher adjusted odds (AOR=2.90, 95% CI=2.10-4.10) of perceiving no risk associated with weekly use of cannabis compared to women without any disability and no cannabis use. Other significant factors associated with an increased likelihood of perceiving no risk of harm from weekly use of cannabis included younger women, having higher income, being in good health, and using alcohol or tobacco. Conclusions: Perceived risk of harm associated with weekly cannabis use is particularly low among women with disabilities who use cannabis. Given current attitudes toward cannabis as a harmless drug, and the potential adverse health outcomes, it is imperative to monitor and understand women's perceptions of risk of harm from cannabis use for clinical guidance, provider and patient education, and public health programs to support evidence-based approaches in addressing its use among vulnerable populations such as those of reproductive age with disabilities.
