Perspectives on vaping and pregnancy

This webinar is part of the Applying a sex, gender, trauma & equity lens to substance use webinar series.

While there has been some research on cannabis use during pregnancy, there is little on vaping cannabis during pregnancy and postpartum. More research on nicotine vaping is also required to equip service providers and support women in making informed decisions about vaping during pregnancy. The Centre of Excellence for Women’s Health conducted a literature review, and a mixed-methods study with women who vape during pregnancy and postpartum, in order to understand the motivations for vaping, and the information needs women had on health-related aspects of vaping during pregnancy and postpartum. In this webinar, we discuss the project findings, the resources that were created informed by women’s perspectives, and how they can be applicable to your practice.

How sex and gender matter in cannabis use

This webinar is part of the Applying a sex, gender, trauma & equity lens to substance use webinar series.

The Sex, Gender & Cannabis Hub (sexgendercannabishub.ca) has been created by the Centre of Excellence for Women’s Health and funded by Health Canada’s Substance Use and Addictions Program with the goal of providing Canadians with reliable and up-to-date information on the intersections of sex, gender, and cannabis. The Hub is a virtual space where the information is curated for community advocates, service providers, researchers, and policymakers. From this, a series of resources applicable to different settings have been created with research and community expertise. Watch this webinar to learn more about the project findings, the resources that have been created, and how they can be applicable to your practice.
