Alcohol Resources

Evidence-Based Alcohol Research

Alcohol is the most widely used drug in the world, and its harms are routinely underestimated. Among the most serious, and the most preventable, is the damage alcohol causes during pregnancy.

These resources focus on the science of alcohol harm, with particular attention to fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) and the influence of the alcohol industry. The message running through the research is consistent: there is no safe level of alcohol use.

Studies on alcohol's effects on the body and on the unborn child, alongside analysis of how the alcohol industry shapes public perception.

A Preventable Harm

FASD is entirely preventable, yet it remains one of the leading causes of non-genetic developmental disability. By making the evidence accessible, OVOM aims to support clear public-health messaging and to help families make informed choices before and during pregnancy.
