Abstract: Ethanol is the most widely used drug worldwide. Its consumption has been increasing, and it is reported even during childbearing. Prenatal exposure to ethanol can lead to irreversible damages of the fetus. Knowledge about this risk could prevent these damages.
There is no information about knowledge of the Italian students on this issue. Therefore the aim of this study was to describe the awareness of the Italian students attending the last year of secondary school about risk of gestational alcohol drinking for the delivering mother and the fetus. An online multiple-choice anonymous survey for students was used and e-mailed to the all Italian secondary schools. The respondents were 9.921 and the obtained results evidenced that that young females are more informed than males, and students in Northern and Central Italy are better informed than those in the South, especially on general aspects.
