Participants consistently engaged in deliberation about the risks and benefits associated with their perinatal cannabis use. Nearly all implemented strategies intended to minimize risk. Our results highlight the need for more research to inform clear public health messaging about risk mitigation to minimize the potential harms of perinatal cannabis use. This work informs clinicians about patient-perceived risks and mitigation strategies which could in turn help inform shared decision-making conversations.
