From MotherToBaby:

As part of January’s Birth Defects Awareness Month, we are excited to announce the release of a new 3-part podcast series on fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD), in collaboration with our colleagues at CDC and FASD United.

The first episode, “FASD Discovery and Prevalence” (#81), is available now. In this episode, Dr. Kenneth Lyons Jones, one of the pioneers who first identified FASD in the United States in 1973, and Dr. Christina Chambers, a renowned epidemiologist who has conducted groundbreaking research on the prevalence of FASD, join host Chris Stallman, CGC, to discuss the discovery of FASD, its common physical and cognitive traits, and its prevalence today.

BONUS: Earn continuing education credits when you listen to all three episodes! Details are provided in the show notes of each episode.​
