This project was designed to improve the capacity of midwives working in antenatal settings to use the pregnancy specific Audit-C alcohol risk screening tool (assessing risk of harm from alcohol use) with pregnant women, and provide guidance (a brief intervention) about the effects of alcohol use on the developing baby. An alcohol and pregnancy module for midwives is also being developed.
