t a t e - b a s e d FAS p r e
v e n t i o n p r o g r a m s
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.
