FACT SHEET Fetal Alcohol Syndrome The consumption of alcohol during pregnancy is one of the leading preventable causes of birth defects and childhood disabilities in the United States. The adverse effects associated with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) range from growth deficiency, brain structure and function anomalies, and abnormalities of the head and face. It is estimated that in 1992 the cost of treating FAS-affected infants, children, and adults was over $1.9 billion. The lifetime cost per child affected with FAS is estimated to be $1.4 million. FAS and Public Awareness In 1981 the Surgeon General first advised that women should not drink alcoholic beverages during pregnancy because of the risk of birth defects. Public law 100-690 was implemented in 1989, requiring warning labels on all alcoholic beverages sold in the United States. Since 1990 the Dietary Guidelines for Americans have stated that women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should not drink alcohol. As of 1998, 19 states require the posting of

63. The Arc's Q&A On FAS There are two degrees of damage that can occur. The most severe is fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). fetal alcohol syndrome in Adolescents and Adults. JAMA. Vol. http://www.thearc.org/faqs/fas.html

Facts About Alcohol Use During Pregnancy What is meant in warnings to pregnant women not to drink alcohol? Research has shown that even small levels of alcohol consumed during pregnancy may affect the fetus in damaging ways. In pregnant women, alcohol is not only carried to all organs and tissues, but also to the placenta, where it easily crosses through the membrane separating maternal and fetal blood systems. In this way, alcohol is transported directly to the fetus and to all its developing tissues and organs. When a pregnant woman drinks an alcoholic beverage, the concentration of alcohol in her unborn baby's bloodstream is the same level as her own. Unlike the mother, however, the liver of a fetus cannot process alcohol at the same adult's rate of one ounce every two hours. High concentrations of alcohol, therefore, stay in the fetus longer, often for up to 24 hours. In fact, the unborn baby's blood alcohol concentration is even higher than the mother's during the second and third hour after a drink is consumed. What kind of damage can occur to the fetus from alcohol consumption by the mother?

Contents Prevalence Etiology Maternal factors Clinical manifestations ... Recommendations Alcohol is a physical and behavioural teratogen. Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a common yet under-recognized condition resulting from maternal consumption of alcohol during pregnancy. While preventable, FAS is also disabling. Although FAS is found in all socioeconomic groups in Canada, it has been observed at high prevalence in select First Nations and Inuit communities in Canada. This statement addresses FAS prevention, diagnosis, early identification and management for health care professionals. Prevention of FAS must occur at two levels. Primary prevention involves eliminating FAS through classroom or community education, and encouraging women to avoid consuming alcohol before conception and throughout pregnancy. Secondary prevention involves identifying women who are drinking while pregnant and reducing their consumption. This statement describes a variety of screening strategies including Tolerance-Annoyance, Cut Down, Eye Opener (T-ACE). Medical practitioners should recommend abstinence starting with the first prenatal visit. Prompt referral for alcohol treatment is recommended for pregnant individuals who are unable to stop drinking alcohol.

DEFINITIONS Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is one of the top three known causes of birth defects with accompanying mental retardationand the only preventable cause among those three. FAS can be prevented by abstaining from alcohol consumption during pregnancy.' FAS is characterized by a cluster of congenital birth defects that develop in the infants of some women who drink heavily during pregnancy. These defects include prenatal and postnatal growth deficiency; facial malformations such as a small head circumference, flattened midface, sunken nasal bridge and flattened and elongated philtrum; central nervous system dysfunction; and varying degrees of major organ system malformations.2 Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) , a less severe version of FAS, is characterized by milder or less frequent FAS signs. Low birthweight, subtle behavioral problems or a partial display of physical malformations, for example, may be seen in the newborns of women who consumed less alcohol during pregnancy than women with FAS newborns.3 INCIDENCE AND RISK FACTORS Nearly 5,000 babiesone in every 750-are born with FAS every year. (FAS prevalence rates range from one in 1,000 to one in 200.) Comparatively, FAE may affect 36,000 newborns each year.4

No level of drinking has been proven safe. The pattern of FAS usually occurs in offspring of chronic alcohol abusers, most often in women who drink four to five drinks daily or more. However, it has occurred in women who drink less. FAE can occur in babies of women who drink moderately or lightly during pregnancy. Binge drinking of more than five drinks on any occasion is one of the strongest predictors of later behavioral and learning problems, developmental delays and mental deficits in those prenatally exposed to alcohol.

Preventing Fetal Alcohol Syndrome What is FAS? Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) refers to a group of physical and mental birth defects in children caused by mothers who drink alcohol during pregnancy. Symptoms of possible FAS include: small body size, lower birth weight, slower than normal development and failure to catch up; skeletal malformations, such as curved spine, small head, limited joint movement and finger and toe deformities; facial abnormalities; organ defects; and central nervous system irregularities, such as a small brain, mental retardation and poor coordination. A significant number of children described as having learning disabilities are believed to suffer from the milder form of FAS, known as fetal alcohol effects or FAE. How widespread is it? Some experts believe the incidence of FAS is as high as three in 10,000 births, resulting in up to 12,000 new cases of FAS each year. Cases of FAE are estimated to be twice as high. Recorded cases of FAS more than tripled between 1979 and 1992 according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and cost U.S. taxpayers more than $300 million annually. No amount of alcohol consumption is deemed "safe" for a pregnant woman.

FAS and FAE Issues in Russia Main Adoption Page Favorite Russian Adoption Sites Russian Adoption Agency List Russian medical reports FAQ ... Feedback Alcohol Related Birth Defects and International Adoption Dr. Jane Aronson Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and Fetal Alcohol Effect (FAE) are concerns for parents who are adopting from the former Soviet Union because there are no public health programs to educate women about the deleterious effects of drinking during pregnancy. It should be understood that any child adopted from any part of the world can be potentially exposed to alcohol pre-natally. Children adopted from the U.S. are at risk as well as children adopted from eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. I will use the terms FAS and FAE since these terms are so popular, but I would like to encourage the use of the descriptive phrases "alcohol related birth defects or alcohol related neurodevelopmental effects" which are also commonly used. I will also use "Russia" instead of the "former Soviet Union" for simplicity and brevity. This chapter will briefly give an historical perspective of FAS, define FAS and FAE and discuss their medical and psychological manifestations. The epidemiology of alcohol associated birth defects in Russia will be defined. The chapter will touch on the daily practice of diagnosis of FAS and FAE in children adopted from abroad with a short discussion of the current research. There will also be a short discussion of the medical evaluation of children diagnosed with FAS.

Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is the sum total of the damage done to the child before birth as a result of the mother drinking alcohol during pregnancy. Although the dangers of alcohol during pregnancy had long been suspected, FAS was formally discovered in 1968 by P. Lemoine and colleagues from Nantes (France) in 127 children of alcoholic parents. Their report in a French pediatric journal drew little attention. Focus on FAS only came after it was independently rediscovered in 1973 by K.L. Jones and colleagues from Seattle (USA) in 8 children of mothers with chronic alcoholism. Their report in the British medical journal, The Lancet , triggered an avalanche of reports of FAS.

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome - FAS and Fetal Alcohol Effects - FAE are caused by the expectant mother consuming alcohol during the term of her pregnancy. The child is permanently afflicted with a diminished ability to function mentally, physically, emotionally and socially. This impairment of the child's and future adult's abilities for reasoning and self control result in problems at school, antisocial and delinquent activities, increases in drug abuse and rates of crime. We all pay a significant price, both economically and in terms of a loss of quality of life in our communities, as a result of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome - FAS and Fetal Alcohol Effects - FAE. The occurrence of FAS / FAE is very high. It happens at all socioeconomic levels of our society and is not bounded by any particular cultural group.

This site will also provide comprehensive information on the Local Resource Network available in Lethbridge and Southwestern Alberta for children and families affected by Alcohol Related Birth Injuries. New listings will be added regularly so visit often! It takes a community to support a woman in her efforts not to drink and it takes a community to support children affected by alcohol before birth. These children suffer growth problems, intellectual impairment and behavioral problems. Many are unable to remain with their parents. They can be found with extended family, in foster care, placed for adoption and, in time if left to flounder, in courtrooms or in jails or on the streets alone and in danger. Each move in an affected child's life will mean new schools, new family and new communities and may herald untold stress for all. Moves are often sudden and unplanned. This could be called "THE PARACHUTE PHENOMENON": a child with many special needs appearing as if out of nowhere. Many children have yet to be diagnosed. When the child arrives or the diagnosis is suspected, families and service providers need to learn quickly where and how to obtain support. We hope this site will provide you with direction for obtaining the resources you require.

FASworld - Building awareness, one ripple at a time... FASworld is an international alliance of parents and professionals who do not want to see any more children, teenagers and adults struggle with birth defects caused when their mothers drank alcohol in pregnancy. Co-founded by volunteers in Toronto, Canada, and Tucson, Arizona, it has resulted in the new Canadian organization, FASworld Canada , which continues to work with Fetal Alcohol Community Resource Center in Tucson to coordinate work in worldwide awareness. Individuals struggling with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder may be diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE), Alcohol-Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder (ARND), Alcohol-Related Birth Defects (ARBD), Alcohol-Related Birth Injury (ARBI) or Partial Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (pFAS). (In New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and other parts of the world, these conditions are spelled, "Foetal Alcohol Syndrome," etc.) Psychologists and psychiatrists often assess individuals with FAS disorders as having Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Conduct Disorder or Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) but are often unaware that the real problem is permanent neurological damage caused by prenatal alcohol. People with prenatal alcohol exposure have a high risk of mental disabilities, learning disabilities, early school drop-out, juvenile delinquency, trouble with the law, alcoholism, drug addiction, unemployment, homelessness, poverty, incarceration, and mental illness. With early diagnosis and treatment, many of these "secondary disabilities" could be prevented.
