We facilitate a virtual Network Action Team on FASD Prevention from a Women’s Health Determinants Perspective which links researchers, service providers, policy advisors and mothers from across Canada in order to build upon the current knowledge base about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) prevention, and bring it into health promotion, prevention, treatment, harm reduction, policy development, as well as further research. The Canada FASD Research Network is the funder of this Network.
Blog – The Team runs a blog about Girls, Women, Alcohol, and Pregnancy to communicate about issues, developments, and action on FASD Prevention. You can subscribe to receive our monthly blog posts straight to your inbox.
