Who Are We?

CDC has been involved in FAS-related activities since 1991. The mission of the CDC FAS Prevention Team is to prevent fetal alcohol syndrome and other prenatal alcohol-related conditions and ameliorate these conditions in children already affected. CDC works with partners across the country to develop systems to monitor exposures and outcomes, conduct epidemiologic studies and public health research to identify maternal risk factors associated with giving birth to a child with FAS, and implement and evaluate FAS prevention and intervention programs.
