We explored differences in fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors across six groups of professionals in key position to provide primary and secondary prevention efforts (physicians, educators, correctional staff, social workers, public health nurses, and substance abuse counselors).
Achieving a 60.1% response rate, 2,292 professionals returned surveys, providing data on basic knowledge of FAS, FASD-associated risks and cognitive deficits, and willingness to confront and recommend treatment to alcohol-consuming pregnant women.
Across groups, findings revealed ample FASD knowledge and willingness to confront and recommend treatment to alcohol-consuming pregnant women that increases as consumption becomes more frequent and severe. However, results revealed significant between-group differences data that provide valuable guidance for targeted future FASD education efforts.
Public health initiatives regarding FASD have been effective in increasing knowledge among a broad range of professionals. However, between-group differences indicate the need for targeted, discipline-specific interventions. These differences highlight the need for all professional groups to provide a consistent public health message regarding maternal alcohol consumption.
我们探究了六个关键岗位专业人员（医生、教育工作者、惩教人员、社会工作者、公共卫生护士和药物滥用顾问）在胎儿酒精谱系障碍（FASD）知识、态度和行为方面的差异，这些人员都致力于提供初级和二级预防工作。
在获得 60.1%的回复率后，2292 名专业人员完成了调查，提供了有关 FAS 的基本知识、与 FASD 相关的风险和认知缺陷、以及是否愿意面对并建议治疗酗酒孕妇的数据。
在各个群体中，研究结果表明，他们对 FASD 的知识和愿意面对并建议治疗酗酒孕妇的意愿都很高，而且随着饮酒频率和严重程度的增加而增加。然而，结果显示存在显著的群体间差异数据，为有针对性的未来 FASD 教育工作提供了有价值的指导。
关于 FASD 的公共卫生倡议已经在提高广大专业人员的知识方面取得了成效。然而，群体间的差异表明需要有针对性的、特定学科的干预措施。这些差异突出表明，所有专业群体都需要就孕妇饮酒问题提供一致的公共卫生信息。
