Canada FASD Research Network’s Action Team on FASD Prevention from a Women’s Health Determinants Perspective, 2014
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is the leading known cause of developmental disability. FASD is the result of exposure to alcohol in utero and is believed to affect 1% of the population. While men’s alcohol use is not a direct contributor to FASD, there are many ways that men can help to prevent FASD. Researchers and service providers who are part of the Canada FASD Research Network have some suggestions for men who want to make a difference.
