A new study by a team of University of Rochester psychologists and other researchers in the Collaborative Initiative on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (CIFASD) finds that partners of mothers-to-be can directly influence a pregnant womanâs likelihood of drinking alcohol and feeling depressed, which affects their babiesâ development.
The study, which appeared in
Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research, highlights the importance of engaging partners in intervention and prevention efforts to help pregnant women avoid drinking alcohol. A babyâs prenatal alcohol exposure carries the risk of potential lifelong problems, including premature birth, delayed infant development, and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD).

Most stories about climate change focus on the environmental effects, such as flooding in Venice s Saint Mark s Square and extensive droughts along the West Coast. But Benmarhnia and other researchers are now learning that the changing climate is having immediate and direct effects on our health and will continue to affect us for years to come. The real challenge with studying the health impact of climate change is that there s so much uncertainty, said Benmarhnia, now associate professor at the Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science and at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. That makes it difficult to predict what, exactly, the health effects will be and makes it hard to convince people that this is an important issue and that actions need to be undertaken right now.
