Epidemiology of Cannabis: Genotoxicity, Neurotoxicity, Epigenomics and Aging, Three Volume Set 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 work also explores the possibility of how these associations might be reflected in overall disease trends at the population health level. These volumes survey 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 across three volumes 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.
