Public Service Announcement: Fetal Alcohol Syndrome

Instructions

For this task, you will use your critical thinking skills to prepare a script for a public service announcement that creates an awareness of the risk for FAS for pregnant women.

• Define and illustrate Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.
• Provide current statistics on this syndrome.
• Mention how much alcohol intake (if any) is considered safe during pregnancy.
• Provide a phone number, website, or agency that can provide assistance or additional information.

The PSA will be 30 seconds, so you will need to read and time the script to make sure it will fit within this time frame.

Length: The script should be long enough to cover a 30-second radio spot.

Resources: Support the information in your handout with at least 3 scholarly references.

Your PSA should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University's Academic Integrity Policy. Include reference citations along with a brief list of references at the end of the PSA.

Note: You are not required to record the PSA; however, you are encouraged to do so as a test for the length of the PSA. The script is all that is required for this assignment.
