Study Notes
FASD Prevalence Rates
- Rates of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) are more difficult to determine than rates of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) as children who do not display the common facial characteristics of FAS may go undetected.
- The neuropsychological and behavioral deficits found in children with FASD may not necessarily be recognized as symptoms of prenatal alcohol exposure if physical features are lacking.
- Northern communities in Canada may lack access to comprehensive healthcare resources needed for diagnosing FAS, leading to a number of undiagnosed cases.
Alcohol Consumption and Binge Drinking
- Alcohol consumption in Canada and the United States remains steady.
- A significant concern is the rise in binge drinking behaviors in women of childbearing age (18-44).
- Binge drinking has been associated with FAS and can cause significant harm to the fetus.
Costs of FASD
- There are staggering economic and social costs associated with FASD.
- The article mentions personal and psychological costs that will be further explored.
