You deserve to understand your healthcare provider's policies, your medical privacy, and the potential implications of sensitive disclosures BEFORE navigating conversations about cannabis use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
This free printable Patient Advocacy Checklist & Worksheet is designed to help you prepare questions, evaluate whether a provider is the right fit for your care, and document the answers you receive.
Inside, you'll find questions covering:
🍃 Provider education, experience, and potential bias
🍃 Prenatal and postpartum drug testing policies
🍃 What substances are tested and how results are handled
🍃 Hospital policies and CPS/DCF reporting
🍃 Treatment options, alternatives, and continuity of care
🍃 Medical privacy, confidentiality, and access to records
The companion worksheet also includes space to record provider responses, identify unanswered questions, request relevant policies or documents, and plan your next steps.
You do not have to disclose personal information simply to ask about general office or hospital policies. This resource can help you prepare for those conversations while deciding what information you're comfortable sharing.
Created to accompany our article: Before You Disclose: Questions Every Mother Should Ask About Cannabis, Medical Privacy & Hospital Reporting.
