Prenatal alcohol and substance exposure remains a leading cause of birth defects and neurodevelopmental abnormalities in the United States. Family physicians play a key role in prevention, early identification, and ongoing care.
To support you in this work, the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) has created a suite of resources to hone your knowledge and confidence for identifying and managing Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD).
New resources include an FPM supplement and an Inside Family Medicine podcast episode to help enhance screening, improve counseling conversations, and better coordinate care for patients and families.
If you want to strengthen your approach to FASD prevention and management, these resources are worth your time.
