2 OVERVIEW Prevalence of alcohol consump7on and binge drinking during pregnancy in general popula7on of different countries (including countries of La7n America and the Caribbean), World Health Organiza7on (WHO) regions and globally. Prevalence of FAS/FASD in different popula7ons in different countries (including countries of La7n America and the Caribbean), WHO regions and globally. Es7mated global incidence of children born with FAS and FASD annually

13 Prevalence of Alcohol Use During Pregnancy (cont ) Alcohol consump7on during pregnancy is a significant public health concern worldwide and an established cause of FASD FASD is theore7cally, largely preventable However, globally, FASD may increase in the near future due to two reasons: 1) the rates of alcohol use, binge drinking and drinking during pregnancy appear to be increasing among young women in a number of countries; and 2) a vast majority of pregnancies are unplanned

21 Global Incidence of FAS and FASD Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Globally, one out of 67 women who consume alcohol during pregnancy in the general popula7on delivered a child with FAS, which translates to about 119,000 children born with FAS in the world each year Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder One out of 13 pregnant women who consumed alcohol while pregnant delivered a child with FASD Over 1,700 cases of FASD are born every day 630,000 cases of FASD are born every year globally

25 The Prevalence of Children with FASD in Various Child Care Systems

26 The Prevalence of Children with FASD in Various Child Care Systems (cont ) Literature Review In total, 33 studies were iden7fied and included in the analysis (Lange et al., 2013, Pediatrics; 132: e980- e995) Data on the prevalence of FAS/D in child care systems are available from only 11 countries/regions, including: Brazil, Chile, Canada, Eastern Europe (Romania, Ukraine, Moldova), Israel, Russia, Spain, Sweden, and USA The prevalence was reported for six major seqngs: boarding schools, child welfare agencies, foster care, homes for children with mental deficiencies, orphanages, and mixed- care seqngs

27 The Prevalence of Children with FASD in Various Child Care Systems (cont ) Fuch et al. (2005): 11.3% of children and youths in care have FASD in Manitoba Burge (2007): 3.3% children who are permanent wards in Ontario have FASD => Prevalence of FASD in child welfare system is 3 to 11 7mes higher as compared to FASD prevalence in general popula7on of Canada (1%)

33 The Prevalence of Children with FASD in Various Child Care Systems (cont ) The pooled prevalence of FAS in child care seqngs is approximately 70 7mes higher than the prevalence of FAS in the general popula7on of Canada Screening for FASD in this high- risk popula7on is necessary, in order to facilitate early diagnosis!

35 Discussion FASD is a rela7vely prevalent alcohol- related developmental disability globally This study used the best available data and provides a working es7mate of the prevalence of alcohol use during pregnancy and FAS/FASD in countries that do not currently have actual data Should inspire countries to do their own research to obtain their own prevalence data

36 Discussion (con ) Establish a universal public health message about the poten7al harm of prenatal alcohol exposure Establish rou7ne screening protocols Provide brief interven7ons, where appropriate, to all pregnant women Special aien7on has to be paid to high- risk popula7ons where the impact of FASD is especially severe
