胎儿酒精暴露是出生缺陷和发育障碍的常见原因。据信，美国有多达百分之一的儿童受到胎儿酒精暴露的影响。胎儿酒精综合症 (FAS) 的特征包括面部特征异常、生长障碍、学习、记忆、注意力、解决问题、言语和听力方面的问题。 FAS 是 100% 可预防的。对明尼苏达州 1704 名孕妇的初步数据进行了评估：怀孕期间的药物使用情况、与怀孕期间药物使用相关的风险因素以及各州孕妇药物使用情况的差异。在样本中，19.6%的女性在怀孕期间饮酒。不饮酒者比饮酒者更有可能结婚和失业。与戒酒者相比，饮酒者的抑郁情绪明显更高，酒精问题也更多。戒酒者报告的怀孕次数较多，并且比饮酒者更早开始第一次产前检查。明尼苏达州不同地理区域的产前物质使用和相关因素也存在显着差异。讨论了与预防和政策工作相关的调查结果。 (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
Fetal alcohol exposure is a common cause of birth defects and developmental disorders. As many as 1 in 100 children in the United States are believed to be affected by fetal alcohol exposure. Characteristics of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) include abnormal facial features, growth impairment, problems with learning, memory, attention span, problem solving, speech, and hearing. FAS is 100% preventable. Preliminary data from 1704 pregnant women in Minnesota were assessed: substance use during pregnancy, risk factors related to substance use during pregnancy, and how substance use among pregnant women varies across the state. Of the sample, 19.6% of the women were calculated to have drunk alcohol while pregnant. Nondrinkers were more likely to be married and unemployed than drinkers. The drinkers reported significantly higher levels of depressed mood and greater number of problems with alcohol than their abstaining counterparts. Abstainers reported a greater number of pregnancies and initiated their first prenatal visit earlier than the drinkers. Significant differences in prenatal substance use and related factors also emerged by geographic region in Minnesota. Findings are discussed in relation to prevention and policy efforts.
