    Pregnancy significantly reduces alcohol consumption, with most women abstaining regardless of intervention. Structured alcohol counseling at antenatal visits is recommended for all pregnant women.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Public Health
    • Addiction Medicine

    Background:

    • Alcohol consumption during pregnancy poses risks to fetal development.
    • Understanding factors influencing maternal alcohol use is crucial for public health initiatives.
    • Previous interventions have shown varied success in reducing alcohol consumption among pregnant women.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a structured counseling intervention aimed at reducing alcohol consumption in pregnant women.
    • To assess changes in alcohol consumption patterns during pregnancy in both intervention and control groups.
    • To identify optimal strategies for addressing alcohol use in prenatal care.

    Main Methods:

    • A prospective study involving two groups of pregnant women: an intervention group (n=58) receiving counseling and a control group (n=74) receiving standard care.

  • Intervention included structured interviews during pregnancy and after delivery, focusing on alcohol reduction and fetal benefits.
  • Alcohol consumption was assessed through interviews before and during pregnancy.

    • Main Results:

    • Alcohol consumption decreased considerably in both groups during pregnancy.
    • 66% of women abstained from alcohol, and liquor consumption nearly ceased, irrespective of the intervention.
    • The observed changes in alcohol consumption were independent of the structured intervention program.

    Conclusions:

    • Pregnancy itself is a significant factor in reducing alcohol consumption.
    • A structured alcohol anamnesis and counseling at the first antenatal visit are recommended for all pregnant women.
    • Intensified intervention programs may be more beneficial for high-risk individuals, such as heavy consumers or abusers.
