Alyssa Vanderziel, PhD candidate, presents her study on the health effects of prenatal cannabis use. "I’m a PhD candidate in Epidemiology and a Graduate Research Assistant in the Department of Family Medicine, where I study the health effects of prenatal cannabis use. I am analyzing data for the Michigan Archive for Research on Child Health (MARCH), in which I am investigating the association of prenatal cannabis use and birth outcomes.
I’m also interested in assessing morning sickness severity and odds of cannabis use during pregnancy. Dr. Alshaarawy and I recently launched the Cannabis Legalization in Michigan (CLM) study in two Sparrow clinics where we will assess the feasibility of recruitment and retention of pregnant women who regularly use cannabis."
