Research by Allen et al.(1)—published in this issue—provides several important contributions, but none stands out more clearly than the finding that roughly one in three women reporting cannabis use prior to becoming pregnant continue to use cannabis during pregnancy. This is a disconcerting discovery, particularly in light of evidence that prenatal cannabis exposure is related to key neonatal (2) and, potentially, longer-term deleterious developmental outcomes (3). Here we extend the significance of this research by considering its importance within the context of a health disparities research framework (4, 5) and a life course perspective (6).As defined by Braveman (7), the term health disparities refers to instances of “worse health among socially disadvantaged people and, in particular, members of disadvantaged racial/ethnic groups and economically disadvantaged people within any racial/ethnic group”(p. 6). In the present case, a health disparities research framework begs the question: Are there differences in perinatal cannabis use risk among members of disadvantaged groups in the United States? And, indeed, close inspection of the findings by Allen et al.(1) suggests that a health disparities lens would further strengthen the study’s contribution.
