Drinking For Two

Pregnant women often say "I'm eating for two". Eating enough of the right food is obviously a good thing to do when you're pregnant, but what if a pregnant woman says "I'm drinking for two". What would you think about that? Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a group of disorders that may occur if a woman chooses to drink in pregnancy. Babies can suffer life-long physical and intellectual disabilities because of it. The condition is not curable and the damage is permanent, but it is preventable. Prevention strategies are not just about harm reduction, but must focus around education and early intervention, and not only involve health professionals but link clearly with education, housing, justice and other community services. This documentary poses the question "Is it safe to drink at all when you're pregnant?" To answer this, we hear from a number of people with this problem, their families and experts. The program includes cases studies to illustrate the issues for children, adults and Indigenous communities in particular. Drinking for Two? is a short version of program 614 Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, which was first broadcast in November 2006. Participants include: Professor Elizabeth Elliot (The Children's Hospital at Westmead, NSW), Ms Lorian Hayes (National Indigenous Australian Foetal Alcohol Syndrome Education Network) and Dr Lara Wieland (Mulungu Aboriginal Corporation Medical Centre, QLD) in a panel discussion led by Dr Norman Swan. Case study participants include: Anne Russell, her son Seth and his fiancé Hailey; Krystal and her grandfather Greg; Lorian Hayes and women of the Cherbourg Community in Queensland. Drinking for Two? was a Finalist in the November 2008 International Health and Medical Media Awards (the "Freddies") in the "behavioral diseases" category. This program has also been broadcast three times on SBS Television, most recently in August 2008. Produced by the Rural Health Education Foundation http://www.rhef.com.au/
