Drs. Lucas, Ramesh and collaborator Dr. Evans receive ANF award!

Congratulations to Dr. Ruth Lucas, and co-investigators Drs. Divya Ramesh and Heather Evans (University of Saint Joseph, Connecticut) on their $15,000 grant award from the American Nurses Foundation (ANF) for their proposal ANTENATAL CANNABIS USE: IMPLICATIONS FOR SYMPTOM MANAGEMENT AND RISK-TAKING. The purpose of this exploratory study is to describe cannabis use in pregnancy with a focus on pregnancy-related symptoms, social and emotional risk factors, and risk-taking behaviors. The proposed study will assess the feasibility of the nursing team to collect data in pregnant women who are cannabis users. The outcome of this study will identify modifiable factors of pregnancy related symptoms, social or emotional support or risk-taking behaviors, thus allowing for early intervention in this population.
