Alcohol consumption and pregnancy.

To mark World Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) Awareness Day on September 9, 2018, Santé publique France: published, for the first time, a national estimate of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders diagnosed in newborns; presented the results of the 2017 Health Barometer on alcohol consumption during pregnancy; launched, starting September 9 and lasting for one month, a national information campaign in the press and online, targeting both the general public and healthcare professionals: any alcohol consumption during pregnancy is likely to pose a risk, necessitating the precautionary principle of “zero alcohol during pregnancy.” This campaign is being rolled out in the overseas departments (DOM).
