Letter to the editor re: Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and other alcohol related effects in New Zealand

Abstract:

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and other Alcohol Related Effects (ARE) are birth defects seen in infants exposed to alcohol in utero. The effect of alcohol on the growing fetus follows the principle of teratology and hence is dependent on dose, time of exposure, conditions during exposure, and the genetic makeup of the mother and the child... Based on our pilot study, we are continuing with a New Zealand wide survey of midwives to assess the risk factors for FAS and other ARE in New Zealand.
