Description

In this article, the authors propose the development of a culturally appropriate intervention to facilitate effective FASD prevention for urban Indigenous women. The intervention has six core operational characteristics. It would: 1) identify at-risk women, 2) assess drinking behaviours, 3) provide information on harmful effects of drinking, 4) facilitate the decision of women to adopt healthier drinking behaviours, 5) monitor changes or progress, and 6) be acceptable to clinicians and easily implemented.
