Abstract To understand the status of risky drinking among pregnant women in 6 cities of China, so as to provide the evidence for intervention study and making related policy. Methods: A multistage stratified method was used for sampling. Among Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Jinan, Chengdu and Harbin, each city was divided into urban and suburb areas which depend on the status of economic development. 1-2 districts were randomly selected from each area, which means that 46 districts were selected in each city. Subsequently, 2 tertiary referral centers were randomly selected in each selected district. The outpatient pregnant women who were taking parent education class in the hospital were asked to participate. Selfadministrated questionnaires were filled out by the participated pregnant women. Results: AUDIT-C, T-ACE and TWEAK showed that the number of pregnant women who had consumed alcohol in 6 cities in the past year was 712,729, and 729, respectively. Among those pregnant women, the number of risky drinking were 90(12.6%), 451(61.9%), and 471(64.6%), respectively. The rate of risky drinking were higher in those who were aged 16-22 years, in charge of housekeeping, with lower education, agricultural residence registration, and smoked in the previous 3 months of pregnancy（P＜0.05）. Conclusion: The risky drinking behavior of pregnant women is relatively common in China. Therefore, control strategies and intervention measures should be developed according to the characteristics of population distribution to prevent the risk of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder.
