Abstract: Public awareness of the risks of drinking during pregnancy was assessed in a Northwestern metropolitan county. 90% of respondents stated spontaneously that drinking might be harmful, and one-fourth of this group felt pregnant women should customarily abstain from alcohol. The balance of those who considered drinking harmful felt an average of more than 3 drinks was safe for daily use. Thus awareness of risk does not necessarily result in recommendation of low-risk behavior.
