Canal S + interviewed Manuel Gonçalves Pinho, a researcher at CINTESIS – Center for Health Technology and Services Research and at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto (FMUP).
A hospital-based study that showed an increase in hospitalizations in the National Health Service for psychotic episodes associated with cannabis use was analysed.
These results also allow “to measure the direct costs of hospitalizations” and can contribute to decision making and to the development of health policies in this specific area.
