“A study in JAMA says young women, age 18 to 25, are binge drinking slightly more than men the same age. Young people, so both teenagers as well as young adults, are continuing to drink less alcohol over time and binge drink less alcohol over time. But if you look at the group of young people who do engage in binge drinking, more of them are women. That's also a new trend.”

This new paper by leading FASD experts including Dr. Philip May published in The Journal of Pediatrics finds, “Even when meeting developmental norms, children with PAE exhibited trends of poorer growth and cognitive/behavioral traits than children without PAE. These findings support the notion that abstinence during pregnancy is best.”

Proof Alliance is partnering with Wilder Research to improve support programs for biological/birthing parents of children with FASD. They hope to better understand barriers to accessing services, develop inclusive and stigma-free recruitment messaging, and identify types of supports preferred by this cohort of caregivers. This interview will take roughly an hour, and participants will select from a variety of $50 electronic gift cards from Wilder Research for their time. You do not need to be a previous Proof Alliance program participant to be interviewed- and you may live out of state.
If you are interested in being interviewed or want more details about the project, please reach out to Mia Vang at miamoua [DOT] vang [AT] wilder [DOT] org.

This video was produced for the 2025 International Research Conference on FASD, held in Seattle, Washington for pre-conference session on "Navigating Stigma with Experience and Evidence: Moving from Discussion to Action.” The video is inspired by the progress made by the AIDS movement in destigmatizing that condition and offers a path forward for the FASD community.
