New Article Explores Public Thinking about Prenatal Exposure to Alcohol

Advocates working to prevent and address fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) are operating in a challenging cultural environment. A new article by FrameWorks staff explores why—and offers recommendations advocates can use to make a stronger case for policies and programs to prevent and address FASD. The article summarizes FrameWorks research into expert and public views of FASD in Manitoba, Canada. It also makes recommendations that advocates can put to immediate use to communicate more effectively about the disorder. The peer-reviewed article was published in Studies in Media and Communication and is authored by FrameWorks CEO Nat Kendall-Taylor and Assistant Director of Research Marissa Fond.
