Request a sales quoteEpidemiology of Cannabis: Genotoxicity, Neurotoxicity, Epigenomics and Aging provides a novel and comprehensive exploration of four areas that have previously been associated with cannabis use, namely mental health in adults and young adults, pediatric autism, congenital anomalies, and pediatric cancers, including testicular cancer. The book also explores the possibility of how these associations might be reflected in overall disease trends at the population health level. This book surveys these four areas in detail and applies cutting-edge analytical software and geospatial space–time analytical techniques to these questions.
With all this information gathered into one book in an easily readable form, this book is a reference for clinicians, health science and allied health practitioners, public health and basic science researchers and drug and health regulators interested in these topics. It is also suitable for inclusion in course work and study preparation courses at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
