Key Takeaways
- Data from over 222,600 mother-child pairs were analysed in this linkage cohort study.
- This study examined maternal cannabis use disorder (CUD) and the risk of disruptive behavioural disorders (DBDs) in offspring.
- Children exposed to maternal CUD had a 3-fold increased risk of behavioural disorders after adjusting for covariates, suggesting CUD as an independent predictor of childhood DBD risks.
- Results emphasise the need for interventions to reduce cannabis use among reproductive-age women.
