It’s National Alcohol and Other Drug-Related Birth Defects Awareness Week (May 13-19)

May 13-19 is National Alcohol and Other Drug-Related Birth Defects Awareness Week!

Rate of Alcohol Use During Pregnancy is 1in 7

Rate of co-exposure of other substances with alcohol use during pregnancy is 40%

Rate of drug use during pregnancy is 1 in 10

At FASD United, we acknowledge the overlap in prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) and other prenatal substance exposure (PSE).  We enthusiastically share space and resources in chemical health, substance use, and maternal-child health. We hope the FASD community will welcome anyone who has been impacted by PSE into our efforts for awareness, policy change, support, and services.
