This curriculum guide on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is intended to help meet New Jersey secondary-level learning objectives in the area of chemical health education. The guide is organized into six sections, each with a conceptual statement, content outline, specific objectives, and lesson plans. The six sections and corresponding major concepts are as follows: (1) "Fetal Alcohol Syndrome: What is It?" (FAS is a combination of characteristics in infants and children resulting from maternal drinking during pregnancy); (2) "History of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome: Pioneers of the 1970s, '80s, and Beyond" (FAS was formally identified as a syndrome in the U.S. in 1973); (3) "FAS is Only the Tip of the Iceberg: Alcohol-Related Birth Defects (ARBD)" (ARBD are less severe conditions caused by maternal drinking during pregnancy); (4) "Alcohol is Not the Only Problem: The Effects of Licit and Illicit Drugs on Pregnancy" (adverse effects of maternal consumption of any drug substance, including alcohol, tobacco, or medications); (5) "So You're Thinking about Getting Pregnant: Don't Drink or Take Drugs" (increasing evidence suggests drug and alcohol use by either parent prior to conception may have adverse effects); (6) "Prevention of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Fetal Alcohol and Other Drug Effects is the Goal: Education is the Answer." Also included are the text of the Surgeon General's Advisory on Alcohol and Pregnancy and a list of 12 resources. (DB)
