This project aimed to understand midwives’ practice in relation to alcohol consumption during pregnancy and FASD. This included determining whether knowledge of the consequences of alcohol consumption in pregnancy and FASD may influence midwives’ practice; what factors may influence midwives’ capacity to address alcohol consumption in pregnancy; discover whether training about alcohol use is associated with midwives’ practice; and describe midwives’ compliance with the WA Country Health Service Alcohol Brief Intervention Policy.
