Résumé :
Chaired by the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, Canadas national addictions agency, the CCENDU is a multilevel collaborative drug surveillance project. CCENDU collects, analyzes, and disseminates quantitative and qualitative information on drug abuse. Two data sources, the 1994-1995 National Population Health Survey and the 1994-1995 National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth, similarly reported that between 17 and 25 percent of women drank at some point during their pregnancy, and between 7 and 9 percent drank alcohol throughout their pregnancy. According to the 1998-1999 National Longitudinal Study of Children and Youth, it appears that the prevalence of alcohol use during pregnancy has decreased since the 1994-1995 surveys. In 1998-1999, it was reported that 14.4 percent of women drank at some point during their pregnancy and 4.9 percent drank throughout their entire pregnancy. This is in contrast to the United States, where reports show an increase in drinking among pregnant women over the past several years. (Author' s abstract)
