Abstract:
Reducing the incidence of FAS to no more than 0.12 per 1,000 live births is a stated objective of the national agenda in Healthy People 2000. One step toward attaining this is by ensuring that all prospective mothers know what FAS is. Knowledge of FAS was elicited among respondents in two health surveys to determine how much women and men know about the risks of drinking during pregnancy, how knowledge levels have changed over time, and what the implications of these findings are with regard to reducing the level of FAS among newborns.
