Accurately assessing prenatal alcohol consumption is exceptionally challenging when assessed retrospectively as part of a FASD assessment for a young person sentenced to detention
Drawing on previous research, caseload midwifery has potential to support the prevention of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder through continuity of care
There is little evidence that previous interventions aiming to reduce the risk of prenatal alcohol exposure or FASD in Indigenous populations have been effective
Language diversity and the prevalence of language disorder associated with FASD among a representative sample of youth sentenced to detention in WA
This issues brief outlines opportunities for change to support reduction of harms related to alcohol use in pregnancy
There is no known risk-free level of alcohol use in pregnancy. Despite this, many still believe that occasional drinking is safe. To-date, there is limited evidence of the influences on women's decisions about low to moderate alcohol use in pregnancy.

Neurodevelopmental impairments resulting from Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) can increase the likelihood of justice system involvement. This study compared offence characteristics in young people with FASD to demographically matched controls (n = 500) in Western Australia.
