State Action Guide on Mandatory Point-of-Purchase Messaging about Alcohol and Pregnancy
This action guide from the Center for Science in the Public Interest provides information to help promote expansion of state and local policies that mandate point-of-purchase warnings on the risks of alcohol consumption during pregnancy.
Increasing public awareness about the risks of drinking during pregnancy is a key part of a comprehensive strategy for preventing Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), the nation's leading preventable cause of mental retardation and birth defects. Point-of-purchase warning signs are a simple, cost-effective means of reaching consumers with FASD prevention messages that can help shift public attitudes to reject alcohol use during pregnancy.
This guide will help state and local health activists expand point-of-purchase warning sign laws where they do not yet exist, and encourage monitoring and enforcement of existing laws.
