Evaluating provider knowledge, perception, and concerns about cannabinoid use in pediatric dermatology.

ABSTRACT

As the use of medical cannabinoids expands, the value and acceptance in pediatric dermatology is poorly characterized. To better assess the current climate, this survey evaluated pediatric dermatologists' familiarity and knowledge about medical cannabis and their interest to research and use cannabinoids. While the fund of knowledge and acceptance was high, providers voiced concerns about psychoactive effects of cannabis and substance abuse among their pediatric patients.
