Knowledge improvement on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders among community members
Washio, Y., Hayashi, Y., Okeke, D., Shah, O., & Nykiel, S. (2019). Knowledge improvement on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders among community members. Journal of Alcohol and Drug Education, 63(3), 21-29.
Prenatal exposure to alcohol can cause pregnancy, birth, and neonatal complications, including miscarriage, low birth weight, stillbirth, and a range of lifelong disorders including fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2016). FASD is one of the leading causes of physical, intellec-tual, and behavioral disorders and birth defects in U.S.; however, FASD is completely preventable if a woman does not drink during pregnancy (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2016). There is no known safe amount, time, or type of alcohol use during pregnancy, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) strongly recommend that women do not drink any alco-hol during pregnancy (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2016).
