A Finnish modelling study estimates that prenatal alcohol exposure has declined substantially since the 1990s. Drinking before pregnancy recognition and underdiagnosis of FASD remain concerns.

A new pilot project in Finland aims to support the well-being of pregnant women and ensure a safe, substance-free environment for fetal development. The project evaluates the use of a new, highly sensitive PEth blood test as a potential routine screening method for alcohol use in early pregnancy.
