“…The prevalence of any alcohol consumption among pregnant women in Europe has been estimated in the range of 23%-54% (Alvik et al, 2006;Donnelly et al, 2008;Göransson et al, 2003;Palma et al, 2007), and some studies report that as many as 23%-30% of women continue to drink after pregnancy recognition (Alvik et al, 2006;Göransson et al, 2003). In the United States, older, more educated, employed, and unmarried women may have a higher prevalence of alcohol use during pregnancy (CDC, 2009;Waterson et al, 1990).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Maternal alcohol consumption during pregnancy and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) represent a signifi cant public health problem. The infl uence of the male partner's alcohol consumption patterns and the quality of the partner's intimate relationship might be important factors to consider in the design of successful FASD prevention programs. Method: As part of the Collaborative Initiative on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders, 166 pregnant women in two regions in Ukraine participated in an in-person interview at an average gestational age of 18-19 weeks. Subjects were classifi ed cross-sectionally as abstainers/light drinkers (n = 80), defi ned as low or no consumption of alcohol in the periconceptional period and none in the most recent 2 weeks of pregnancy; discontinuers (n = 43), defi ned as moderate to heavy alcohol use in the periconceptional period but none during the most recent 2 weeks of pregnancy; or continuing drinkers (n = 43), defi ned as continued moderate to heavy alcohol use within the most recent 2 weeks of pregnancy. Women also reported on their partner's drinking behavior and on the quality of their intimate relationship. Results: Heavy paternal drinking was signifi cantly associated with both continuing maternal drinking in the most recent 2 weeks (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 34.1; 95% CI [5.9, 195.8]) and being a risky drinker only around conception (adjusted OR = 27.0; 95% CI [5.0, 147.7]). In addition, women who consumed alcohol during pregnancy had lower mean scores for satisfaction with partners' relationship and ability to discuss problems (p < .05) compared with light drinkers/abstainers. Conclusions: This study suggests that development of partner-based interventions, as opposed to those solely focused on maternal drinking, might be warranted as a strategy to prevent FASD. (J. Stud.

“…For example, a prevalence rate of less than 5% has been reported in Japan (Tamaki et al, 2008), about 8% in the US (CDC, 2012) and 20% in Russia (Balachova et al, 2012). A higher share of pregnant women consuming alcohol has been found in European countries such as Spain and Norway, where occurrence of 23% has been reported (Alvik et al, 2006b;Palma et al, 2007); the corresponding figure for Denmark is 45% (Nybo-Andersen et al, 2012) and for France 47% (Malet et al, 2006). It should be noted that these studies have used different cut-offs for drinking, such as any drinking at all (Balachova et al, 2012;Nybo-Andersen et al, 2012;Palma et al, 2007), drinking more than 1 standard drink (SD) (Tamaki et al, 2008) or more than one SD in the past 30 days (CDC, 2012).…”

“…As Ernest Abel [23] has noted: 'FAS is not an equal opportunity birth defect'. Studies of maternal alcohol consumption in OECD countries suggest that women from upper socioeconomic groups are more likely to drink alcohol during pregnancy [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] but have significantly lower rates of FASD than women in lower socioeconomic groups [23]. One recent study has found that women from more socially disadvantaged backgrounds are more likely to either abstain or binge drink during pregnancy, while those who are from more socially advantaged backgrounds are more likely to drink consistently at low to moderate levels [33].…”

The diagnosis of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASDs) is embedded in a matrix of biological, social and ethical processes, making it an important topic for crossdisciplinary social and ethical research. This article reviews different branches of research relevant to understanding how FASD is identified and defined and outlines a framework for future social and ethical research in this area. We outline the character of scientific research into FASD, epidemiological discrepancies between reported patterns of maternal alcohol consumption during pregnancy and the incidence of FASD, and the social and ethical considerations that may impact on who is, and is not, diagnosed. We highlight what further research investigating FASD diagnostic processes, as well as the multi-generational impacts of FASD, is needed. Important research priorities are to: 1) enumerate the variety of stakeholders involved in seeking FASD diagnoses; 2) understand the experiences and perspectives of mothers from different backgrounds who have consumed alcohol during pregnancy and their affected children; and 3) collect health histories of maternal alcohol consumption in families to determine the effect of FASD at sub-cultural and cultural levels.

Weekday but not weekend alcohol consumption before pregnancy influences alcohol cessation during pregnancy

Abstract: Drinking patterns influenced the rate of alcohol cessation: the heavier the alcohol consumption on weekdays, the lower the rate of alcohol cessation.
