Abstract
Background Rates of prenatal alcohol use in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are increasing, despite regulatory bodies urging pregnant women to abstain from alcohol. Tanzania has minimal policies, interventions, and young female education addressing alcohol consumption during pregnancy (ACDP), leading to a considerable number of pregnancies being exposed to alcohol and consequent health consequences like fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). Research investigating the prevalence of ACDP in SSA —specifically in Tanzania— is abundant. In Tanzania, there is a limited understanding of alcohol use practices among pregnant women who consume alcohol (PWCA), as well as community knowledge, attitudes, and cultural beliefs related to ACDP.
