The study discovers that unwanted pregnancy with alcohol, but not with hashish

Of a sample of more than 2000 non -sour women between the ages of 15 and 34, the researchers have identified a 936 sub -group who do not want pregnancy. Within that sub -group, 429 reported a thick drink (as measured using a standard for alcohol examination) and 362 was reported by hemp (including 157 who were reported daily or daily).

Those who drank heavily and those who used hemp often have a higher comprehensive desire to avoid pregnancy, compared to the participants who drank mild or at all and the participants who did not use hemp.

For one year, 71 of 936 women have become mostly wanted to avoid pregnancy. More than half of that unwanted pregnancy (38) occurred among those who drank heavily, more than the common number of those who drank mildly or not at all. In other words, heavy drinking has been associated with increased risk of unwanted pregnancy compared to low drinking levels.

On the other hand, less than half of the unwanted 71 pregnancy occurred (28) among the people who used cannabis, which means that those who used hemp did not show a great danger of unwanted pregnancy compared to people who did not use cannabis.

First, women other than buses who drink greatly, on average, want to avoid pregnancy on average, apparently, they avoid more than pregnancy,” the main author, Dr. Sarah Rivman, of the University of California, San Francisco, College of Medicine. Why This pregnancy occurs is the next step in our research. “

“Meanwhile, given the effects that can be changed on life for disorders in the embryonic alcohol spectrum (which occurs when the fetus is exposed to alcohol through drinking the mother) and the fact that the risk of developing FASD increases with the amount and duration of the mother’s drinking, it is important for doctors and two physicians to drink a lot soon soon.

This study was funded by the National Institute for Child Health and Human Development (R01-HD108643) and the National Institute for alcohol and alcoholism (F31AA028988).
