A scoping review of the determinants of foetal alcohol spectrum disorder in South Africa: an intersectional perspective

Staff inolved: Michelle De Jong, Asha George, Tanya Jacobs

Foetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) affects babies born to mothers who consume alcohol while pregnant.

South Africa has the highest prevalence of FASD in the world. The review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the research done in this area and provide critical insight into the potential implications for how health systems and policies could best respond to and address this problem in ways that serve women and children. Our intention is to reframe findings, particularly those from the quantitative studies, as more than collections of individual risk factors and to facilitate the depiction of a network of intersecting influences that function to shape what choices are available and preferable to individual women.
