Despite being contraindicated by medical professionals, cannabis use during pregnancy is on the rise. Preliminary research among the general population suggests that cannabis use is associated with later mental health difficulties. While pregnancy IPV is associated with poorer postpartum mental health, less is known about the effects of pregnancy cannabis use on postpartum mental health. This study aims to investigate the combined effects of IPV victimization and cannabis use during pregnancy on postpartum mental health.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>In this study, 257 women were assessed at three points during pregnancy to measure IPV victimization and cannabis use. Then, at 6 months postpartum, women's posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety symptoms were assessed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Linear regression analyses revealed that pregnancy IPV victimization was significantly associated with elevated postpartum PTSD (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.21, p\u2009=\u20090.005), depression (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.17, p\u2009=\u20090.022), and anxiety symptoms (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.21, p\u2009=\u20090.008). Pregnancy cannabis use was associated with elevated postpartum PTSD (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.25, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and depression (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.25, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) symptoms. The interaction between pregnancy IPV and cannabis use was not significantly associated with postpartum mental health symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results suggest that cannabis use during pregnancy, as well as IPV victimization, are independent risk factors for specific postpartum mental health problems. Suggestions for nurses and other medical providers on how to best screen for and counsel pregnant women on cannabis use are discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2761-1601","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,4]],"date-time":"2026-05-04T07:44:05Z","timestamp":1777880645000},"page":"1352-1358","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Cannabis Use and Intimate Partner Violence During Pregnancy Are Associated with Poorer Postpartum Mental Health"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"43","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8935-9604","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matthew J.","family":"Marvin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandra L.","family":"Ballinger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sara F.","family":"Stein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Behavior and Health Equity, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jewelian N.","family":"Fairchild","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.
