“…However, in our study, no pregnant women were found to consume alcoholic beverages, the reason being that the study population is different. Consuming alcoholic beverages during pregnancy will have adverse effects on maternal and child health [ 37 , 38 ]. As expected, energy from beverages was highly correlated with energy from SSDs ( r = 0.836) in our study.…”

Water Intake in Pregnant Women in China, 2018: The Report of a Survey

et al. 2021

Background: Adequate water intake in pregnant women plays an important role in their health and in fetal growth and development. However, there is insufficient applicable data to guide and evaluate the water intake of pregnant women in China. Based on a nationwide sample of pregnant women, we mainly aimed to investigate the daily total water intake (TWI) and the contribution of different beverages and food sources to the TWI, to assess the percentage of participants who comply with the adequate intake (AI) value of water set by the Chinese Nutrition Society (CNS) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and to analyze the contribution of different water sources to the daily total energy intake (TEI). Methods: A multi-stage sampling method was used to recruit pregnant women from 11 provinces and two municipalities in China. A 4-day online diary with a food atlas was used to assess water and dietary intake. Finally, 653 pregnant women were included in the analysis. The Mann–Whitney U test and the independent-sample t-test were used to compare the differences between related variables in different age groups or different gestational periods, and partial correlation was used to explore the correlation between water and energy intake. Results: The median daily TWI of pregnant women was 2190 mL, of which water from beverages and foods accounted for 52.9% and 47.1%, respectively. Approximately 80.5% of the water from beverages was mainly from plain water (r = 0.973), while in the part of the water from foods, dishes (32.4%) were the main contributors (r = 0.663). Only 16.4% and 43.8% of the total population met the TWI recommendation set by the CNS and EFSA, respectively. Among these, the contribution of the water from beverages was higher than that of the water from food. For those whose TWI did not reach the recommended level, the contribution of the water from beverages was almost equal to that of food. The median daily TEI of pregnant women was 1589 kcal, of which beverages accounted for 9.7%. Milk and milk derivatives (71.3%) were the main contributors to energy from beverages, accounting for 71.3% (r = 0.444). Although sugar-sweetened drinks only accounted for 10.1% of the energy from beverages, they were highly correlated with energy from beverages (r = 0.836). Through grouping analysis, age and gestational period had no significant effect on the above main results. Conclusions: This was the beginning of a nationwide study on the TWI of pregnant women in China, and the results provide evidence of the need for interventions to improve water intake among pregnant women and the revision of reference values for AI of TWI in pregnant women in China.

“…In Native communities, binge drinking remains a critical public health issue. While Native women are more likely to abstain from alcohol compared with other racial/ethnic groups, among those who drink binge drinking is more likely (Ye et al, 2020). Considering the relational and situational contexts of drinking, Native women in the United States who drink are more likely to do so in a home setting rather than in bars and restaurants (May and Gossage, 2001, Hanson et al, 2017) and are more likely to binge drink on weekends in a group to be sociable, to celebrate a special occasion, because others are drinking, or to be part of a group (May and Gossage, 2001).…”

“…Reduction in binge drinking includes the need to address risk for alcohol‐exposed pregnancy (AEP). A cohort study with Northern Plains American Indian women found that 52% consumed alcohol during pregnancy, with 41% engaged in prenatal binge drinking (Ye et al, 2020). AEP prevention efforts that have specifically targeted the preconception period focused on behavior change before women become pregnant by either encouraging the reduction or elimination of risky alcohol use and/or effective contraceptive use among women who could become pregnant.…”

“…Research has also highlighted specific challenges that are unique to racial and ethnic groups of women and children [ 67 , 71 ]. Most notably, these studies range from clinical work with Mexican Americans [ 72 ] to research about American Indian and Alaska Native populations [ 73 , 74 ]. While these remarkable studies have mentioned rurality and race individually, the intersection of race and space has yet to appear as the central focus of perinatal health studies that deal with alcohol use.…”

(1) Background: perinatal alcohol use generates a variety of health risks. Social media platforms discuss fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) and other widespread outcomes, providing personalized user-generated content about the perceptions and behaviors related to alcohol use during pregnancy. Data collected from Twitter underscores various narrative structures and sentiments in tweets that reflect large-scale discourses and foster societal stigmas; (2) Methods: We extracted alcohol-related tweets from May 2019 to October 2021 using an official Twitter search API based on a set of keywords provided by our clinical team. Our exploratory study utilized thematic content analysis and inductive qualitative coding methods to analyze user content. Iterative line-by-line coding categorized dynamic descriptive themes from a random sample of 500 tweets; (3) Results: qualitative methods from content analysis revealed underlying patterns among inter-user engagements, outlining individual, interpersonal and population-level stigmas about perinatal alcohol use and negative sentiment towards drinking mothers. As a result, the overall silence surrounding personal experiences with alcohol use during pregnancy suggests an unwillingness and sense of reluctancy from pregnant adults to leverage the platform for support and assistance due to societal stigmas; (4) Conclusions: identifying these discursive factors will facilitate more effective public health programs that take into account specific challenges related to social media networks and develop prevention strategies to help Twitter users struggling with perinatal alcohol use.
