1. Assess the feasibility of using a FAS Diagnostic and Prevention Clinic as a center for identifying and targeting primary intervention to high-risk women (namely, women who had given birth to a child with FAS).
   
   
2. Generate a comprehensive, lifetime profile of these women as a first step in development of intervention programs to meet their needs.
   
   
3. Identify factors that enhanced and hindered their ability to achieve abstinence and practice effective family planning.
