FASD Hub Webinar: Managing alcohol use in pregnancy

Many clinicians tell us they don't ask about alcohol during pregnancy, as they don't know how to ask, what to advise or where to refer. In this session held on 1 December 2021, we presented a case study of a woman who is drinking alcohol during pregnancy and heard the perspectives of a panel of health professionals and a biological mother.
