Brief description Alcohol consumption during pregnancy contributes to a range of adverse outcomes for the child. Despite guidelines recommending no alcohol use in pregnancy, less than half of all health professionals routinely raise the topic with pregnant women and pregnant women continue to consume alcohol. This study aims to determine if a practice change intervention can increase best-practice care for alcohol consumption in pregnancy.
