- Abstract
This study aimed to investigate alcohol consumption among pregnant women enrolled in SisPreNatal in areas of the city of Londrina, and identify patterns of alcohol consumption and sociodemographic factors related to the consumption of alcohol. We interviewed 202 pregnant women, from June to September 2007 using the screening instrument for harmful use of alcohol (T-ACE). Among the participants, 19.3% were T-ACE positive in the first three months of pregnancy, 3.9% reported consuming more than 56g of alcohol per month and 2.5% reported consuming more than 29g alcohol per week. From the second trimester, most of the pregnant women reported little consumption of alcoholic beverages and many said they make no further use after knowing they were pregnant. Most belonged to lower or middle social class. The study showed that a significant number of women consumed alcohol at least for a period during pregnancy, posing risks to the fetus.
