Poster to promote the practice of screening for alcohol and birth control use with all women of childbearing years

The FASD ONE Prevention Work Group has just developed a poster that can be used across the province to promote the practice of screening for alcohol and birth control use with all women of childbearing years. The resource is targeted to health and social service providers to encourage them to make this a universal practice with all women of childbearing age. The research is strong to support this practice – studies done by the Centre for Disease Control found that the risk of FASD can be decreased by 50% or more by talking to women about alcohol and birth control use before pregnancy.
