Washington [US], June 3 (ANI): A new study has found that partners of mothers-to-be can directly influence a pregnant woman s likelihood of drinking alcohol and feeling depressed, which affects their babies development.
The findings of the study were published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research .
The study was led by a team of University of Rochester psychologists and other researchers in the Collaborative Initiative on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (CIFASD).
The study highlighted the importance of engaging partners in intervention and prevention efforts to help pregnant women avoid drinking alcohol. A baby s prenatal alcohol exposure carries the risk of potential lifelong problems, including premature birth, delayed infant development, and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD).
Interventions addressing the partners substance use may help reduce pregnant women s substance use, too, while improving their relationship satisfaction, protecting against depression, and boosting infant development.
