SAFEST Choice National Learning Collaborative

Reducing prenatal alcohol exposure and improving outcomes in children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders

The SAFEST Choice Learning Collaborative aims to reduce the incidence of prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) and improve outcomes in children with suspected or diagnosed fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs).

This program, a partnership between Boston Medical Center and Proof Alliance, uses Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO®) virtual education to engage healthcare teams at urban, rural, and Native American clinics cross the country.
