| dc.description.abstract | Introduction: Foetal alcohol syndrome disorder (FASD) is caused by alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Foetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a lifelong condition that results in reduced quality of life. We examined the prevalence and risk factors associated with alcohol consumption in a population of pregnant Ugandan women. Methods: This mini dissertation comprises of two sections: a research protocol (Section A) and a manuscript (Section B). We made use of data previously collected (2018) for the "IMPALA” study and focused our research on alcohol consumption during pregnancy. This study consisted of 566 eligible study participants between the ages of 15-46. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression methods were used to identify risk factors associated with alcohol consumption among study participants. Results: Our study population consisted mainly of married women who work as farmers, living in rural areas. We found that 14% of the study participants consumed alcohol while pregnant. Both the univariable and multivariable regression found that age, residential area, married polygamously and married monogamously were significantly (p-value < 0.05) associated with alcohol consumption amongst study participants. Number of children and being a farmer were significantly associated in the univariable regression model only, the pattern of association was similar in the multivariable regression model. Conclusion: The prevalence of alcohol consumption in pregnancy was found to be 14% with age, residential area, number of children and working as a farmer being identified as the risk factors for alcohol consumption. Our conclusion is that alcohol consumption in this population was similar to that reported in other studies. | |
