Substance Exposure and Children's Health
Thursday, November 13, 3:30 to 5:00pm, Property: Hyatt Regency Seattle, Floor: 5th Floor, Room: 508 - TahuyaSession Submission Type: Panel
Abstract
Opioids, alcohol, cannabis, and tobacco are all known to cause fetal harm if consumed during pregnancy. Attempts to use policy to reduce these harms have had mixed results, as policies can induce stigmatizing effects that decrease or even reverse their effectiveness. This session explores the role of policy in promoting or discouraging substance use during pregnancy, as well as the longer-term consequences of that use. One paper considers whether increased alcohol taxes lead to the expected decline in alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Another asks whether recreational cannabis legalization has altered the co-use of cannabis and tobacco. Finally, the third paper examines the ongoing effects of prenatal opioid exposure on educational outcomes.
