AIMS Media. 1992. Alcohol and pregnancy: Fetal alcohol syndrome and fetal alcohol effects. Chatsworth, CA: AIMS Media, 1 video (20 minutes), 1 flyer (1 p.).

Annotation: This videotape is intended to be a tool for the prevention of fetal alcohol syndrome/fetal alcohol effects. It covers physical, mental, and behavioral abnormalities of children who have fetal alcohol syndrome or fetal alcohol effects. It briefly covers ways in which alcohol causes such abnormalities; and, at the end, strongly advises against alcohol intake during pregnancy. It includes numerous interviews and photographs of affected children that serve to illustrate the range and extent of abnormalities. For some of these, the caregiver (usually accompanied by the child) or affected child describes the child's problems. Two women tell about the adverse effects of their drinking during pregnancy; both are African American. After the first one admits that she didn't know that what she was doing was harmful, a warning label is displayed with audio indicating that information about the danger is right on the label of all alcoholic beverages. Other than advice to say 'No' to alcohol for the sake of the baby, methods of dealing with an alcohol problem are not addressed. The videotape is intended for high school to adult audiences.
