A comprehensive program for the prevention of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) and alcohol-related birth defects (ARBD) must consider multiple approaches and utilize knowledge from a variety of academic disciplines.
Issues related to culture, society, behavior, belief systems, and medicine must all be considered for both etiology and solutions.
A broad paradigm such as a public health model integrates various elements of approach.
Because FAS and other levels of ARBD form a spectrum, from severe to negligible damage, a variety of drinking patterns with various characteristics and etiologies have to be addressed.
This paper describes a multiple-level, comprehensive program with primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention components.
Practical recommendations are proposed for addressing ARBD in a variety of arenas.
While secondary and tertiary prevention hold promise for shortterm reduction of FAS and ARBD prevalence, comprehensive prevention serves both short-and long-term effects.
Multiple level prevention efforts are well served by clear and compelling vision and mission statements, and require careful evaluation.
