In brief

The purpose of this study is to lay the ground work for a fully powered clinical trial of a computer-delivered screener and intervention for alcohol use during pregnancy.

Assessing the validity of an alcohol biomarker, Ethyl Glucoronide (EtG), for the detection of at-risk drinking in pregnant women. 3.
