Reduced alcohol use in pregnancy and changed attitudes in the population

Abstract: The objectives of this study were to investigate (1) changes in consumption of alcohol among pregnant women over a period of 5 years (1984/85-1990), (2) changes of attitudes towards drinking during pregnancy in the general population over the same period of time, and (3) possible connections between (1) and (2). The investigation was designed as a cross-sectional study. Our subjects were two representative samples of pregnant women in Oslo, n = 377 and 425, and two representative samples of the Norwegian popul… Show more

“…These findings are similar to a recent report from South Africa where a substantial proportion of people in the general population did not believe that alcohol use during pregnancy was harmful (44). These findings contrast with data from countries where FASD public awareness campaigns have been widely conducted, knowledge is higher and attitudes more strongly favour caution about alcohol use during pregnancy (45, 46). In our sample, more educated women demonstrated more accurate knowledge about the specific effects of alcohol consumption in pregnancy (26, 45).…”

“…The women reported low consumption of alcohol during pregnancy compared with studies from some other European countries (13,14), but compares favorably with other studies from Norway (15,16). Contrary to cigarette smoking, high education was associated with alcohol consumption.…”

“…Em contrapartida, os resultados, em especial da amostra da população geral, mostram que campanhas de cessação do uso de SPAs, durante a gestação e a lactação, podem ter como alvo não apenas gestantes e mães, mas pessoas próximas a elas, com ênfase especial em amigas confidentes que, estranhamente ou não, têm mais influência sobre o comportamento da gestante do que seus parceiros (3) . Em oposição aos dados epidemiológicos de utilização de SPAs durante a gestação (9,(13)(14)(15)(16)(17) , é bastante positivo o fato de que os índices de atitudes de restrição ao consumo de SPAs durante a gestação tenham se mostrado altos. Entretanto, fica evidente a discrepância de atitude na amostra de gestantes estudadas, o que pode ser importante objeto de estudo e possível alvo dentro de campanhas de prevenção ao uso de SPAs, durante a gestação e a amamentação.…”

“…E, se as pessoas entendem que a mensagem de alguma campanha tem alta relevância pessoal, sua atenção à mensagem, bem como a busca por informações a respeito do tópico em questão, tende a crescer. Em um estudo norueguês, foi identificada redução significativa no uso de álcool durante a gestação, bem como mudança nas atitudes em relação ao consumo de álcool, nesse período da vida, em direção à restrição, concomitantes ao desenvolvimento de campanha de prevenção promovida por um órgão nacional (9) . Independentemente de esforços governamentais ou não, as SPAs e medicações sem orientação profissional continuam a ser consumidas por gestantes em índices que podem ser considerados preocupantes.…”
