Abstract
The purpose of this scholarly project was to assess healthcare providers’ knowledge, and confidence of the endocannabinoid system, medicinal cannabinoids, and the action of Cannabidiol (CBD) prior to, and after an educational delivery. The surveys and educational intervention were distributed by social media platforms to healthcare providers and students of the qualifying professions to gain insight on current confidence, knowledge, and prevalence when it comes to medicinal cannabinoid discussion within healthcare practice. Results yielded statistically significant results in a multitude of aspects. When running paired samples correlations, each category within the investigation into provider confidence, proved to be statistically significant in their gain of confidence during discussion in practice; The Endocannabinoid System (0.002), Medicinal Cannabinoids (0.001), and the action of CBD (0.05). Prevalence of provider screening for medicinal cannabinoid use also proved to be statistically significant when running paired samples correlations (0.00)
