The Maternal Child and Health Bureau awarded CRT a grant to develop a training and technical assistance program for Community Health Centers and Maternal and Child Health sites that will impact clinical practice in three areas: prevention, identification, and referral to treatment. We are working with ten clinics in California, Illinois, and New Jersey to guide clinicians in the screening of both pregnant women for potential use of substances and children for evidence of FASDs. All clinic personnel will be trained to communicate the message that there is no safe amount of alcohol to drink during pregnancy and to use educational materials to promote healthy pregnancies free of alcohol use.
