## Publications and Products

**Notes:**
The Center continues to develop public education materials.  New products include a series of rack cards, ad slicks, posters, and booklets developed under the umbrella title “Have a healthy baby.  Be an alcohol-free mother-to-be.”  The products are available from the National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information in English and Spanish.  In addition, the Center has developed  new fact sheets on independent living for people with an FASD and getting a diagnosis of an FASD.  These fact sheets are available on the Center’s Web site and have recently been cleared for print.  Copies are available from NCADI.  

In addition, the Center has had an article accepted to the American Journal of Public Health, pending final acceptance of requested revisions.  The article is called “Sobering Thoughts:  The Town Hall Meetings on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders.”
