Abstract
Time-series analysis examines the impact of the alcohol warning label on in-pregnancy drinking by 21,127 African-American pregnant women bet ween 1986 and 1995. Controlling for patient characteristics and unempl oyment rate, the authors find that the label had a significant, modest impact on drinking. The results suggest that more intensive intervent ions are needed to reduce in-pregnancy drinking.
