Prevention Tool Kit Targets Fetal Alcohol Spectrum

February 03, 2007 by Amy Spangler

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) has partnered with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in producing a Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) Prevention Tool Kit.

The tool kit is designed for health care professionals, to assist them in identifying women who drink at risky levels and strategies to modify their behavior to reduce their risk for an alcohol-exposed pregnancy. A short guide provides information on screening and intervention guidelines, frequently asked questions, a blueprint for putting screening and intervention into practice, the Surgeon General’s Advisory on Alcohol Use in Pregnancy, resources, and references.
