Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Addiction Medicine
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Accurate reporting of alcohol consumption during pregnancy is crucial for maternal and fetal health.
  • Patient self-reports may be influenced by concerns regarding social or medical judgment.
  • Collateral reports are sometimes used to verify self-reported data in clinical settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare self-reports with collateral reports of alcohol consumption in pregnant women.
  • To assess the reliability of self-reported antepartum alcohol intake.
  • To evaluate discrepancies between self and collateral data during pregnancy.

Main Methods:

  • 247 pregnant women participated in the study.
  • Self-reports and collateral reports of alcohol consumption were collected.
  • Data were gathered shortly after prenatal care initiation and again post-delivery.

Main Results:

  • Women's self-reports of alcohol consumption exceeded collateral reports.
  • This pattern was observed for both pre-pregnancy and antepartum drinking.
  • Discrepancies highlight potential underreporting in collateral information.

Conclusions:

  • Patient self-reports appear to be a reliable source for assessing alcohol consumption during pregnancy.
  • Collateral reporting may not accurately capture the full extent of alcohol intake.
  • Findings support the use of self-reporting in clinical assessments of prenatal alcohol exposure.
