“Prenatal alcohol exposure affects not only fetal development and brain function after birth. As this new ARCR review reports, people with prenatal alcohol exposure and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders can experience a wide range of conditions affecting the whole body and lasting into adulthood. These persistent consequences include metabolic disorders; changes in body composition; effects on the health and function of the bones, heart, kidney, immune system, and reproductive system; and impairments of vision, hearing, and sleep.”

FASD United is highlighting CIFASD research.
Much of the research on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) has focused on children. Dr. Claire Coles is helping expand that understanding by studying long-term health outcomes in adults with prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE).
In 2024, Dr. Coles published findings showing that adults with PAE may report a greater number and wider range of health issues compared to those without exposure. These include conditions affecting organs such as the heart and bladder, as well as diabetes and kidney stones.
This research helps deepen our understanding of how prenatal alcohol exposure can impact health across the lifespan.

Proof Alliance NC encourages you to celebrate an alcohol-free pregnancy. Drinking alcohol during pregnancy can cause a range of lifelong physical, behavioral, and intellectual disabilities known as fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). FASD cannot be cured, but it can be prevented by not drinking alcohol – including red wine, white wine, wine coolers, beer or hard liquor during your pregnancy.
In 2026 we will be continuing our work with Our State Magazine. We are excited to begin featuring our mocktail recipes as pairings with delicious dinner recipes.
