Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder in Australia: Practice guidelines for diagnosis and management

Children with FASD have more teacher-reported behavioral impairment than children without FASD. In remote Australian communities, academic performance is poor.

we aim to create a profile of fine motor skills in a cohort of WA children; determine whether these differed in children with PAE or FASD and prevalence.

Barriers in addressing FASD in Australia include a drinking culture and large populations living in regional or remote communities with high risk populations.

This study examines the association between PAE in the general antenatal population and child neurodevelopment at 2 years, accounting for relevant factors.

This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of the available information on FASD among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, with reference to the limitations on population-based data and evaluated programs.

Prenatal alcohol exposure is associated with a range of adverse offspring neurodevelopmental outcomes. Several studies suggest that PAE modifies DNA methylation in offspring cells and tissues, providing evidence for a potential mechanistic link to Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder.
