Mental health clinicians’ perceptions on patient motivations and intervention engagement for prenatal cannabis use: A mixed methods study
In this mixed-methods study, clinicians described several approaches to increase pregnant patients' willingness to engage in perinatal substance use interventions, including eliciting motives for cannabis use and using patient-centered interventions focused on establishing rapport and addressing readiness to quit. Future interventions for patients might incorporate harm reduction and psychoeducation, address motivations for use and readiness to engage in care, emphasize peer support, and support the implementation of complementary interventions.
