Alcohol consumption in a general antenatal population and child neurodevelopment at 2 years
BACKGROUND: Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) is a community health problem with up to 50% of pregnant women drinking alcohol. The relationship between low or sporadic binge PAE and adverse child outcomes is not clear. This study examines the association between PAE in the general antenatal population and child neurodevelopment at 2 years, accounting for relevant contributing factors. METHODS: This prospective population-based cohort recruited 1570…
Genetics and public health—evolution, or revolution
During the 19th and early 20th century, public health and genetics shared common ground through similar approaches to health promotion in the population. By the mid-20th century there was a division between public health and genetics, with eugenicists estranged and clinical genetics focused on single gene disorders, usually only relevant to small numbers of people. Now through a common interest in the aetiology of complex diseases such as heart d…
Consequences of surveying folate awareness
Objectives To assess women's concerns when interviewed about the association between folate and neural tube defects (NTDs) and to determine how this is affected by time, being folate aware, having seen folate promotional material or being pregnant. Design As part of a community randomized trial outcomes evaluation, independent cross‐sectional follow‐up surveys were carried out in 1997 and 2000. Setting and participants Six local government areas …
What is the impact of genetic counselling in women at increased risk of developing hereditary breast cancer? A meta-analytic review
A randomized community intervention trial to increase awareness and knowledge of the role of periconceptional folate in women of child‐bearing age
Objectives To determine the effect of a consumer‐directed information campaign to increase knowledge of folate for the prevention of neural tube defects among women of child‐bearing age, and to measure women’s recall of sources of information and knowledge about folate. Design A community randomized trial. Setting Three matched pairs of geographically distinct Local Government Areas in the state of Victoria, Australia. Intervention Printed inform…
