If you were given the task of providing an educational session regarding teratogens to women who were planning to get pregnant, what information would you consider vital to your presentation? If a participant stated that she believed that a few cigarettes and a glass of wine per day would not be harmful, how would you respond?

What research-based reasons for not smoking or drinking would you provide to the participant?

Please use American Psychological Association Publication Manual (6th Ed.) formatted citations and references for all posts and responses. Include page numbers for citations from your text.

Example: Berk (2013, p. 21) states ....... If the idea you are citing from the text references another source, please cite it accordingly. Example: (Saxe, 1988 as cited in Berk, 2013, p. 25). List your references at the end of your assignment on a separate reference page and list your name, the topic of the assignment, and the date you submitted the assignment on a cover page. The assignment should be a minimum of 1.5 pages long not including the cover page or reference page. However, of more importance than the minimum length of the assignment, it should cover all aspects of the assignment prompt.
