Drinking & congenital birth defects: alcohol awareness in the northern rivers region

inebriant use has been identified as angiotensin converting enzyme of the leading aspect of social life in Australia. The purpose of this clause as to develop guidelines in order to minimize risks associated with excess consumption of inebriantic beverageic beverage in Australia by changing the cultural military capabilitys and promoting the health of the Australian macrocosm.This study, which was carried step to the fore in the semi-rural Northern Rivers in New South Wales, was conducted to ask about the attitudes towards maternal drinking and sense of the birth defects which are well cogitate to alcohol consumption of alcohol among women.In the firmness of purposes, the study found out that 69.8% of the participants responded acknowledged that women should drink during pregnancy with make upd trend favoring 4-8 glasses of beer invariably week during pregnancy.The study also found that education was negatively related to the recommended quantity of alcohol consumpti on but positively related to the responder knowledge on alcohol-related birth defects. The study asserted that education was an in-chief(postnominal) tool in bringing about an movementive change in attitude and at that placefore it should be used to raise social awareness on maternal drinking issues.Three main pointsThere are primary(prenominal) points in this article. First, it is clear the alcohol consumption is one aspect of Australian agriculture. alcoholic beverage consumption is an accepted social culture in Australia. However in that location are no cultural barriers that make believe been created to cushion negative effect of alcohol consumptionIn my opinion, alcohol consumption is not only an acceptable culture in Australia but it is a major problem in the country. alcoholic drink consumption forms one of the most important social leisure activities of Australian and therefrom any negative consequence are likely to carry on the people in a great way.Second, there is low agreement of the effect of alcohol on the population. With 69.8% acknowledging the use of alcohol during pregnancy, it is clear that there is low take aim of awareness in the public on the effectuate of alcohol consumption. Increased birth defects in the country plunder therefore be attributed to alcohol consumption during pregnancy.I feel that alcohol may confound more negative effect on the Australians than many studies have projected. This is because these studies have focused on only one negative aspect of alcohol leaving out several other negative effects. There is a very low level of understanding on the effects of alcohol among the population which may have led to many negative health effects.Third, changing cultural attitude on consumption of alcohol can play a pivotal role in changing the practice session of alcohol consumption in the country. This means the education can be used to increase public awareness on the effects of alcohol and change their attitude. In my opinion, I feel that education can play an important role in changing the culture perception and attitude of the population about the effects of alcohol. It is very difficult to change cultural attitude since it is a part of life of these people. However education can increase the awareness of the population on negative effects of alcoholThere is no yield in the article. The article fairly looks into the issue and carries out am alcohol survey with informed consent and assurance of confidential in the query process with voluntary participation. In the selection process both males and feminine were selected according to demographic of the area.The writerThis article was published following as study carried out by Tony Yeigh who holds a bachelor of psychology and post down diploma in education, and Brian Kean who is a Ph.D. holder, both from Brigham Young University in the part of Heath science. I believe with what these authors say on the low level of awareness of the effe cts of alcohol on the Australian population. This is because the same result have been found in other studies by the National Alcohol Strategy 2001-2003 and also by NSW Alcohol Summit 2003
