Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASDs) Prevention Program - Title: Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) Prevention Program American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Project Director – Tonya McFadden, MS, MSA CDC-RFA-DD18-1803 Funding request: $250,000 Year 1 PROJECT ABSTRACT SUMMARY The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) serves as the nation’s leading group of professionals providing health care for women. A nonprofit members organization that focuses on women’s health care advocacy, clinical practice standards, and education. The services provided by ACOG reach beyond our 58,000 members to address the patient population served by our practitioners, as well as the general public. ACOG and the CDC have each worked on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) prevention for many years. In 2014, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD) funded national partners to strengthen strategic partnerships with key national medical societies, professional organizations, and constituent groups. ACOG was an award recipient and paired with the University of Missouri Practice Implementation Center (MRPIC) to establish the OB-GYN Discipline Specific Workgroup (DSW). Over the past 4 years ACOG has participated as part of the CDC’s cooperative agreement with the development of informational and training tools for obstetrician/gynecologists (ob-gyns) regarding FASD awareness and prevention. ACOG recognizes that the harms attributable to FASD are complex and convinced that promoting awareness in tandem with evidence based practices can result in sustained change. Sharing evidence based information increases knowledge and impacts interventions thus changing the way providers care for their patients. Although many of the necessary tools are now in place to support providers in screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT), universal application of this technique has yet to be broadly implemented by ob-gyns. In our efforts to increase the visibility and awareness of this important health issue, ACOG aims to develop and administer a survey to identify perceived barriers to implementation of alcohol SBI; provide recommendations on how ob-gyn providers can advise patients about associated risk at every visit; identifying additional avenues of dissemination; educating members on an ongoing basis, by offering tools and resources on the prevention of FASD; implementation of alcohol SBI and providing continuing medical education (CME) credits and Maintenance of Certification (MOC) as an incentive for participation. All of which will serve to educate a wide variety of audiences with regards to the risk and potential outcomes that come with alcohol consumption during pregnancy and during the reproductive years. A woman’s ob-gyn is often the only doctor she sees regularly and the annual well woman visits provides a great opportunity for ob-gyns to evaluate ASBI. Thus, Ob-gyns play an essential role in actively helping women reduce the risk of FASDs. In working toward that mission, the ACOG Program will focus on accomplishing the following: - Conduct survey on FASD knowledge, attitudes, and practice patterns at 2 coding workshops - Expand the champion network and recruit 6 new champions. - Collaborate with 5 external stakeholders to advance efforts for OB/GYN’s to conduct alcohol SBI for the prevention of Alcohol Exposed Pregnancy (AEP) and FASDs. - Identify and implement 5 programmatic strategies that will sustain the work of the program following the funding period. - Develop and implement a coordinated national educational outreach campaign highlighting the impact of FASD and practice based implementation of universal Alcohol SBI to prevent AEPs and FASDs employed utilizing 5 or more outlets.
