Research about preventing FASD is advancing across the globe. We now have research about the many levels of prevention – on awareness building approaches, on safe and respectful conversations about alcohol use with women and their support networks, and on holistic support services for pregnant women and new mothers’ experiences alcohol problems and other health and social concerns. In this video, Dr. Nancy Poole (Canada) describes the four-part model of FASD prevention, Dr. Kelly Gonzales and the Future Generations Collaborative (USA) share their work on FASD prevention, and Dr. Babatope Adebiyi (South Africa) provides an overview of how South Africa developed FASD prevention guidelines.

This video is part of our five-part international FASD prevention webinar series, Preventing Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, Promoting Women’s Wellness. The series was coordinated by Lindsay Wolfson and Dr. Nancy Poole with support from Audrey McFarlane, Victoria Bailey, and Dr. Kelly Harding.
