Alternative Dietary Practices and Nutritional Abuses in Pregnancy; Proceedings of a Workshop

摘要

The general objectives of this study were to provide to personnel responsible for maternal and child health care information on certain abuses during pregnancy on health and nutritional status and to make recommendations, wherever possible, on the nutritional management of individuals at risk. Specifically, the study aimed (1) to review and evaluate current research and to develop a state-of-the-art report on the effects of certain abuses during pregnancy; (2) to separate, insofar as possible, the effects of the abused substance per se from those effects that may result from alterations in nutrient utilization; and (3) to recommend interventions that may be feasible and effective.
