Reducing Prenatal Alcohol Exposure and FASD

Reducing Prenatal Alcohol Exposure and the Incidence of FASD: Is the Past Prologue?

Grace Chang

About 14% of pregnant women drink at least some alcohol during pregnancy, despite the known harm alcohol can have on the fetus. Therefore, interventions to reduce prenatal alcohol use and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder are still needed. This ARCR review introduces different categories of interventions, from case management, preconception interventions, and motivational interviewing to technological interventions, and summarizes the evidence for their effectiveness.
