Ohio Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Steering Committee

Statewide task force. Leadership is represented by OhioMHAS, ODH, DODD, Supreme Court of Ohio, ODRC, and Medicaid. The current goals are:
1.

The Ohio Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Initiative began in 2004. Since then, Ohio’s FASD State Steering Committee has actively addressed the effects of FASD in Ohio. The partners in this effort included representatives of nine cabinet-level state agencies, parents and other youth and family serving organizations. The initial plan that guided the Steering Committee’s work consisted of five major goals that focused on increasing the availability of services, providing education, developing screening procedures and enhancing data collection efforts. Review of the Steering Committee’s past efforts indicated a variety of successful initiatives. For example, the Steering Committee provided leadership and implemented a number of educational events including a state-wide social marketing campaign targeting physicians, educators and the general public. The “Not a Single Drop” web-site was launched and averaged more than 30,000 hits per month. Several training modules were developed and several summits and conferences were held. Based on past successes and a changing operational environment, Ohio’s FASD State Steering Committee initiated a formal planning process beginning on November 21, 2008 to update the original state plan developed in 2004. This planning process continues to be updated each year. As a result of this work our goals have changed to reflect the current state of our initiative. Reduce Alcohol-Exposed Pregnancies (Prevention)
2. Increase Availability and Awareness of Services for Those Affected by FASD (Resource Guide)
3. Increase Availability and Awareness of FASD Services for Providers
4. Increase Screening and Diagnosis for FASD (Diagnosis and Screening)
5. Mobilization and Sustainability

September is FASD Awareness and Prevention month. The range of effects that alcohol can cause to a baby exposed to alcohol before birth are called Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder or FASD. These effects may include physical, mental, behavioral and/or learning disabilities. Thousands of babies are born with an FASD each year. The good news is that FASD is completely preventable. If a women does not drink alcohol while she is pregnant, her child cannot get FASD.
