Congratulations to researchers funded through the 2022 Cannabis Research in Longitudinal Studies Operating Grant competition!
IHDCYH would like to congratulate the researchers leading these projects, which were funded by the Cannabis Research in Longitudinal Studies initiative within the Human Development, Child and Youth Health pool to support work related to Existing Longitudinal Studies:
- Daniel Corsi (Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Research Institute): Cannabis use in pregnancy and associations with child developmental outcomes: an extension to the Ottawa and Kingston (OaK) Birth Cohort
- Matthew Hicks (University of Alberta): Maternal-child dyad health outcomes: neurodevelopment at three years in the context of maternal cannabis use – an extension of a prospective cohort study
The purpose of this initiative is to leverage existing longitudinal studies to collect and analyze data and/or biological samples and/or perform additional assays with existing samples across the lifecycle to establish patterns of cannabis use, to identify the impacts of cannabis use and to inform future interventions. Examining patterns of cannabis use is an important first step in understanding the social, economic and health inequities around cannabis use, and their potential long-term impacts.
IHDCYH partnered with the CIHR Institute of Neurosciences, Mental Health and Addiction (INMHA) and Veterans Affairs Canada, on behalf of the partners of the Integrated Cannabis Research Strategy (ICRS), to sponsor this funding opportunity.
