Abstract: Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder (FASD) is one of the most preventable sources of developmental abnormalities, and has a singular cause-alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Estimates for the costs of treatment of a single case of FASD range often above one million dollars. The primary strategy for prevention currently centers on no alcohol consumption during pregnancy. However, a sizeable number of North American women currently drink during pregnancy. A literature review examined the behavior of maternal alco… Show more

“…These disorders are estimated to affect approximately 2-5% of live-births in the United States and some Western European countries (May et al, 2009), and the effects have lifelong implications for the affected individuals, their families, and their communities (Lupton, Burd, & Harwood, 2004;Olson, Oti, Gelo, & Beck, 2009;Streissguth, Barr, Kogan, & Bookstein, 1997). Strategies to prevent prenatal alcohol exposure include broad awareness-raising initiatives that target individuals' knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes, and seek to create and reinforce a social context conducive to alcohol abstinence (Deshpande et al, 2005). These campaigns also serve to support tailored and clinical interventions addressing prenatal alcohol exposure such as brief interventions in primary care settings, alcohol screening, and specialised support for pregnant women with alcohol-related problems (Hankin, 2002;Poole, 2008;Stratton, Howe, & Battaglia, 1996).…”

“…Alors, pourquoi certaines d'entre elles poursuivent leurs habitudes de consommation d'alcool et quelles sont leurs croyances face à ce phénomène, quelques études nous fournissent des réponses à ces interrogations. Deshpande et al (2005) rapportent dans son étude que des femmes ont des perceptions erronées au sujet de la consommation d'alcool en ce qui a trait à ce qui est acceptable et concernant les dommages que l'alcool peut provoquer chez le foetus.…”

“…Par ailleurs, d'autres continuent de boire de l'alcool durant leur grossesse pour des raisons purement sociales, croyant qu'il est acceptable de boire pendant la grossesse ou croyant que la consommation d'alcool pendant la grossesse est très répandue (Deshpande et al, 2005).
