Announcing the Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) “App”

CDC is announcing the launch of an FASD application (or “app”).  The app is a way for users to access the latest information related to alcohol use during pregnancy and FASDs directly from an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad. From women planning a pregnancy to health care providers to families and educators, this app helps users easily find and share the latest in the prevention, recognition, and treatment of FASDs. This application is a companion to CDC’s FASD website and is CDC’s first health condition-specific app! Check out these features:

  • Alcohol consumption data by state
  • Easy-to-read information on diagnosis and treatments for children with FASDs
  • Individualized pages for different users – women, families, health care providers, educators, and partners
  • Training and education resources
  • Access to free materials on alcohol use during pregnancy and FASDs
  • Information on what CDC is doing in this area







Download the FASD app  -- from your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad, go to the Apple App store and search for fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. You can also find it under CDC. To access it directly, visit: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fetal-alcohol-spectrum-disorders/id517058288?mt=8&ls=1
