OBJECTIVE Although use of cannabis during pregnancy can be detrimental to the fetus, use of cannabis during pregnancy has increased. Pregnant people are often exposed to incorrect information about cannabis use during pregnancy online and have expressed a desire for additional information about the effects of using cannabis while pregnant. We wanted to design and test a brief intervention promoting media literacy and science literacy and assess whether exposure would reduce intentions to use cannabis during pregnancy. METHOD We created two sets of messages, one with a focus on increasing media literacy and another on increasing science literacy. Messages were either presented in a narrative/story or nonnarrative formats. Participants who identified as female, aged 18-40, were recruited online via a Qualtrics panel to participate in the online experiment. We used multigroup structural equation modeling (SEM) to model the relationships across message groups. RESULTS Results suggested that increased awareness about potential harms of Tetrahydrocannabinol to the fetus was associated with intentions to reduce cannabis use while pregnant in the science literacy conditions for both message types (science narrative b = .389, p = .003; science nonnarrative b = .410, p ≤ .001). Increased media literacy for source was associated with intentions to reduce cannabis use during pregnancy in the media literacy nonnarrative group (b = .319, p = .021) but was not significant for the media literacy narrative condition. CONCLUSIONS Messages focused on both media literacy and science literacy may be of value to pregnant people who use cannabis, with science literacy likely having a more direct effect.

检查科学和媒体素养健康传播信息，以减少怀孕期间使用大麻的意图。

目的 尽管怀孕期间使用大麻可能对胎儿有害，但怀孕期间使用大麻的情况有所增加。孕妇经常在网上接触到有关怀孕期间使用大麻的错误信息，并表示希望了解有关怀孕期间使用大麻的影响的更多信息。我们希望设计和测试一项促进媒体素养和科学素养的简短干预措施，并评估接触大麻是否会减少怀孕期间使用大麻的意图。方法 我们创建了两套信息，一套侧重于提高媒体素养，另一套侧重于提高科学素养。消息以叙述/故事或非叙述的形式呈现。通过 Qualtrics 小组在线招募年龄在 18-40 岁之间的女性参与者来参与在线实验。我们使用多组结构方程模型 (SEM) 对消息组之间的关系进行建模。结果 结果表明，提高对四氢大麻酚对胎儿潜在危害的认识与在两种信息类型的科学素养条件下减少怀孕期间使用大麻的意图相关（科学叙事 b = .389，p = .003；科学非叙事 b = .410，p ≤ .001)。在媒体素养非叙事组中，来源媒体素养的提高与减少怀孕期间大麻使用的意图相关（b = .319，p = .021），但对于媒体素养叙事条件并不显着。结论 关注媒体素养和科学素养的信息可能对使用大麻的孕妇有价值，其中科学素养可能会产生更直接的影响。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
