To develop a public health strategy related to <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">FASD<\/jats:styled-content>, it is important to first establish what is known by the public about this condition. This study aimed to assess the current level of knowledge about <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">FASD<\/jats:styled-content> in the <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">UK<\/jats:styled-content> general population.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A mixed methodology study was conducted using a 17\u2010item questionnaire and focus group sessions. Four focus groups were held with an average of 10 people in each group. Semi\u2010structured questions and thematic analysis of interviews alongside quantitative analysis of the questionnaire data was completed. The research was approved by an National Health service (NHS) research ethical committee.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 674 people responded to the questionnaire and a majority (86.7%) had heard about <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">FASD<\/jats:styled-content>, with most receiving their information from the media (26.2%) or from their work (27.7%). Four broad themes emerged. Overall these were: a general lack of knowledge about the subject; information about the subject needed to be personally relevant; there was a need for further education; and there was a lack of clarity in the current guidance on alcohol use in pregnancy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion and conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Currently there appears to be a superficial level of knowledge about <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">FASD<\/jats:styled-content> in the <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">UK<\/jats:styled-content> general public. More detailed work in subgroups, such as young women, to identify their specific needs may be necessary before targeted public health and educational interventions can be developed to meet the needs of the general public.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/cch.12187","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,24]],"date-time":"2014-09-24T04:40:00Z","timestamp":1411533600000},"page":"467-474","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["What does the general public in the <scp>UK<\/scp> know about the risk to a developing foetus if exposed to alcohol in pregnancy?
