This study aims to estimate the national and state\u2010wise prevalence of alcohol use during pregnancy in India and examine associated social, demographic and health\u2010related correlates using data from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS\u20105) conducted in 2019\u20132020.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Data from NFHS\u20105, a large\u2010scale, nationally representative survey, were analysed. The survey included comprehensive interviews with 724,115 women aged 15\u201349\u2009years, covering all 28 states and 8 union territories of India. The main outcome was self\u2010reported alcohol use during the respondents' current or most recent pregnancy. Explanatory variables included age, economic status, education level, tribal affiliation, urban\/rural residence, planned\/unplanned pregnancy, adequacy of antenatal care and tobacco use.

The highest prevalence rates were in Arunachal Pradesh (13.03%), Chhattisgarh (5.77%) and Assam (5.62%). Key correlates included belonging to Scheduled Tribes (AOR 7.987, 95% CI 5.73\u201311.134), having no education (AOR 1.733, 95% CI 1.025\u20132.931) and tobacco use (AOR 3.389, 95% CI 2.647\u20134.338).
