Abstract

Abstract: The decriminalization of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-containing products has resulted in an increased presence of these products in households. This increased presence, along with frequent use of product packaging that mimics recognizable and appealing treats, has led to a rise in accidental ingestions of THC-containing substances by children. Some clinicians and child protective services (CPS) professionals have recommended that every accidental THC ingestion by a child, irrespective of the circumstances, should be reported for investigation by CPS. We argue that this recommendation has the potential to waste scarce resources, harm families, and worsen current inequities in CPS reporting. We offer an alternative framework to this blanket recommendation that clinicians can employ when providing care to a child who has ingested THC.

四氢大麻酚摄入和儿童保护服务：从业人员指南。

摘要：含四氢大麻酚（THC）产品的非刑事化导致这些产品在家庭中的存在增加。这种增加的存在，加上经常使用模仿可识别和吸引人的产品包装，导致儿童意外摄入含四氢大麻酚物质的情况有所增加。一些临床医生和儿童保护服务（CPS）专业人员建议，无论情况如何，儿童每次意外摄入四氢大麻酚都应报告给CPS进行调查。我们认为，这一建议有可能浪费稀缺资源，伤害家庭，并加剧目前CPS报告中的不公平现象。我们提供了一种替代框架，以替代这一一揽子建议，临床医生在为摄入四氢大麻酚的儿童提供护理时可以采用。
