 Opportunity for input until February 14th!

“The U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Agriculture (USDA) invite the public to submit written comments to the Departments on two reports on alcoholic beverages and health. The public comment period will remain open until February 14, 2025. The findings from both reports, along with public comments and federal agency input, will be considered by HHS and USDA as the Departments develop guidance on alcoholic beverages in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025-2030.”

As we welcome the start of 2025, FASD United recognizes National Birth Defects Awareness Month as an opportunity to support and empower the FASD community, build connections within the larger disability community, and rethink how we see and talk about people with FASD, disabilities, and birth defects.  We are honored to be collaborating with MotherToBaby and the CDC on a three-part podcast series on FASD.

The first episode on FASD Discovery and Prevalence is now available and features renowned experts Dr. Kenneth Lyons Jones and Dr. Christina Chambers.
