Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), a consequence of maternal drinking is currently a topical issue in New Zealand. One in two pregnancies in NZ maybe alcohol exposed with the majority of women drinking prior to recognising pregnancy. Understanding the pathways for alcohol exposure is critical to design and implement public health interventions and policy measures, which was the aim of the current study. Data for the study were collected using a cross-sectional survey design. Descriptive statistics (proportions and 95% CI) were used to calculate prevalence estimates and survey adjusted chi-squared tests were used to report statistically significant group differences.
