What is Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder?
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder is a term used to describe disorders that result from prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE).
FASD includes Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), Alcohol-Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder (ARND), and Alcohol-Related Birth Defects (ARBD).
HOW DOES FASD EFFECT THE COMMUNITY?
15% of women are unaware that drinking while pregnant is dangerous. 1 in 5 women who are pregnant consume while pregnant. FASD is the leading cause of preventable cognitive, developmental, and physical impairments in the United States lack of awareness leads to negative fetal/infant health outcomes, increased disparities in pre and post natal care, and the perception that education, policy change, and resource availability is not necessary.
