State-Based
FAS Prevention Programs
In October 2003, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funded five cooperative
agreements to promote the development of comprehensive, state-based
fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) prevention programs. In October
2004, two additional cooperative agreements were added to this
initiative.
Purposes
The purposes of these programs are to: (1) develop, implement, and
evaluate population-based and targeted programs for FAS prevention,
including the identification of high-prevalence geographic areas or
selected subpopulations of childbearing-aged women at high risk for
an alcohol-exposed pregnancy; (2) establish or enhance prenatal and
preconceptional intervention programs to serve these populations; and
(3) establish or use existing systems for monitoring the impact of
prevention programs.
