Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Resource Guide.
Snyder, Lisa
This resource guide provides information on programs, publications, organizations, and other resources related to prevention of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). The purpose of this guide is to assist health care providers to comply with Indian Health Service (IHS) FAS goals and objectives. It gives examples of community approaches to FAS prevention, depicts a map of 145 facilities nationwide, and reproduces a copy of an FDA Drug Bulletin with the Surgeon General's Advisory on Alcohol and Pregnancy. Maternal and child health area-consultants are listed for IHS headquarters and the 12 IHS service areas. Descriptions are provided for 31 organized FAS prevention programs, and 49 alcoholism treatment programs accepting pregnant women are listed. Contact information is also given for IHS Alcohol and Substance Abuse Program coordinators, IHS-area mental health branch chiefs, IHS-area social services chiefs, and other consultants. The guide provides price and availability information for FAS-related books, newsletters, slides, curriculums, videos, brochures, catalogs, posters, and display models, as well as materials from the National Clearinghouse FAS resources. Many entries are annotated. Also included are two poems, "I Am My Mother's Child" and "I Have Chosen Sobriety," by Tom Yowell. (TSP)
