Summary

This study tested whether a lifestyle physical activity program, using a Fitbit tracker and coaching calls, could help pregnant women at risk for cannabis use reduce their use. Sixteen women who used cannabis at least weekly before pregnancy and had mild depression or anxiety took part in a 12-week program. Researchers measured cannabis use, physical activity, mood, and coping skills to see if the approach was feasible and promising.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
lifestyle physical activity program with Fitbit
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, non-drug way to help pregnant women cut back on cannabis and improve their mental health.
What could go wrong
This was a very small, early study with only 16 participants and no comparison group. The results may not apply to all pregnant women, and it relied on self-reported cannabis use.
