If you’re pregnant, make sure you
don’t use alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs. If you use
alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs, make sure you’re not
pregnant.
Nevada’s Perinatal
Substance Abuse Prevention (PSAP) Initiative began in 1995.
Its mission is to prevent substance abuse among women during
the perinatal period (pre-conception through lactation).
Because substance abuse during pregnancy can cause Fetal
Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and other substance-related birth
defects, the emphasis of the PSAP Initiative is upon
preventing substance abuse during pregnancy. The Initiative
is largely comprised of the efforts of the PSAP Subcommittee
of the Maternal and Child Health Advisory Board and the PSAP
Coordinator.
