Introduction: According to official statistical data of 2007, 14.3% women aged 25-34 use alcohol on risky and harmful levels. What is more, health care specialists in Lithuania in some cases still follow obsolete traditions to recommend alcohol beverages for pregnant women. It may cause even higher alcohol consumption in this group. Aims: to test physicians' habits to recommend alcohol for pregnant women, evaluate the frequency of FASD diagnoses in Lithuania and to compare with epidemiologic results in other countries. Methods: a pilot survey was given to 74 general practitioners and obstetricians - gynaecologists to evaluate attitudes towards alcohol use of pregnant women and for 27 neonatologists for evaluating abilities to diagnose FASD.
