Interview with Dr. Ceasar about Cannabis and Pregnancy
Rachel Carmen Ceasar, PhD (https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachelceasar/), is a medical anthropologist and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Population and Public Health Sciences at the University of Southern California (https://keck.usc.edu/faculty-search/rachel-carmen-ceasar/) (USC) Keck School of Medicine. She leads the USC Maternal Cannabis Lab (https://sites.usc.edu/maternal-cannabis-lab/), where her and her team document historic and systematic inequities people face when they use cannabis during pregnancy. Their goal in this work is to research and partner with maternal health providers, patients, and cannabis dispensaries to develop person-centered and harm reduction-based education that supports--rather than criminalizes—parents during pregnancy and postpartum.
She is working to figure out the best way to educate medical professionals and make sure pregnant women have access to proper education if they are using Cannabis while pregnant.
