Highlights Impact of Drinking in Pregnancy and Informs Regional
Prevention Strategies
A
recent study in a US Pacific Southwest city estimated that, at a
minimum, 2% of first-grade schoolchildren had an FASD. A new report
in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research
describes the range of FASD among these children and the
characteristics of their mothers.

Carolina Health News (USA) - Does North Carolina do enough to help
children affected by a mom’s prenatal alcohol use?
Fetal
alcohol spectrum disorder is more common than many people think, with
as many as one in 20 children affected. Many end up in foster care,
special-education classes and often the courts, jails and prisons.

News (Norther Ireland) - Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder: The
'heartbreaking' reality
The
brothers, from Dromore, in County Down, are living with fetal alcohol
spectrum disorder (FASD), meaning that exposure to alcohol in the
womb has left them with life-long disabilities.
National
Institutes of Health - Using both marijuana and alcohol during
early pregnancy may increase the likelihood of disrupting fetal
development
New
preclinical research reported in animal models shows that exposure to
compounds found in marijuana called cannabinoids (CBs), which
includes cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), during
early pregnancy can cause malformations in the developing embryo.
GPSpeak
- FASD is forever, so let’s help make it never
Foetal
alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is a lifelong condition where
diffuse brain injury is caused by antenatal alcohol use. It is
thought that the prevalence of foetal alcohol spectrum disorder may
be as high of 2 - 4% of the Australian population.

Usually
when we talk about transitions in supporting someone with FASD we
talk about the little moments most people take for granted: the

The
needs of individuals with FASD are best met when diagnostic systems
provide accurate, validated diagnoses across the lifespan, the full
spectrum of outcome, the full continuum of alcohol exposure; and
utilize diagnostic nomenclature that accurately reflects the
association between outcome and alcohol exposure.

Overall,
our research demonstrates that (a) the brain network involved in

studying developmental psychopathology at very early ages.
