A large and compelling experimental literature has documented the adverse impact of prenatal alcohol exposure on developing brain offspring. This is first report adolescent attention/ memory performance its relationship with in a population‐based, longitudinal, prospective study ( n = 462) involving substantial covariate control “blind” examiners. Prenatal was significantly related to attention/memory deficits dose‐dependent fashion. latent variable reflecting 13 measures maternal drinking...
Understanding the nature of cognitive deficits among adolescent patients with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) can direct future research on assessment and intervention. In an exploratory study, nine non‐retarded teenagers FAS were administered tests IQ adaptive behavior, neuropsychological presumed sensitive to effects. Their performance was compared psychometric norms data from a sample 174 adolescents minimal or no prenatal exposure. These nonretarded commonly showed behavior problems,...
Magnetic resonance (MR) technology offers noninvasive methods for in vivo assessment of neuroabnormalities.
Aim Aboriginal leaders concerned about high rates of alcohol use in pregnancy invited researchers to determine the prevalence fetal syndrome ( FAS ) and partial pFAS their communities. Methods Population‐based study using active case ascertainment children born 2002/2003 living F itzroy V alley, W estern A ustralia pril 2010– N ovember 2011) n = 134). Socio‐demographic antenatal data, including pregnancy, were collected by interview with 127/134 (95%) consenting parents/care givers....
This study described sensory processing behaviors and sensory-motor abilities in children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) explored their relationship to home school function. A clinic-referred sample of 25 FASD, ages 5 8 years, was compared 26 typical development, balanced for age, gender, race/ethnicity, on standardized tests examining processing, performance, adaptive behavior. Children FASD scored significantly more poorly sensory-motor, adaptive, academic achievement...
Prenatal alcohol exposure can lead to significant neurodevelopmental disabilities, now recognized as fetal spectrum disorders (FASD). This includes both syndrome, a lifelong birth defect, and wider range of enduring learning behavior deficits often called alcohol-related disorder (ARND). Diagnostic classification systems have been developed identify children with FASD, early interventionists from multiple disciplines be central in identification referral for diagnosis, providing the known...
Study Objectives: Sleep problems in children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) are reportedly common but not well characterized.Objectives were to: (1) assess sleep concerns FASD using a caregiver-report survey, the Children's Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ); (2) compare CSHQ results those of previously reported community sample; and (3) describe pilot polysomnography fi ndings FASD.Methods: Children recruited from behavioral intervention study, participating caregivers completed...
Background. Children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) demonstrate neurobehavioral impairments that affect function and participation. Adaptive behavior deficits have been documented; however, specific functional profiles are less well described. Purpose. This study compared caregiver-reported adaptive maladaptive behaviors between a clinic-referred sample of 25 five- through eight-year-old children FASD 23 typical development. Findings. were rated significantly lower on the...
Abstract The population-based Seattle Longitudinal Prospective Study on Alcohol and Pregnancy unites the fields of developmental psychopathology behavioral teratology. Examining prenatal biological influences childhood learning problems, this report is first to extend earlier findings alcohol-related deficits into late childhood. This follow-up study 458 singletons assesses degree which children's classroom behavior achievement difficulties at age 11 are predicted by alcohol exposure across...
<h3>Introduction</h3> Anecdotal reports suggest that high-risk drinking in pregnancy is common some remote Australian communities. Alcohol teratogenic and may cause a range of lifelong conditions termed 'fetal alcohol spectrum disorders' (FASD). Australia has few diagnostic services for FASD, prevalence these neurodevelopmental disorders remains unknown. In 2009, Aboriginal leaders the Fitzroy Valley North Western identified FASD as community priority initiated Lililwani Project partnership...
Abstract Background Children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) have high rates of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). ACEs are associated a wide range health outcomes including difficulty behavior regulation, an important intervention target. However, the effect on different areas has not been well characterized in children disabilities. This study describes FASD and how they impact problems. Methods A convenience sample 87 caregivers (aged 3 to 12) participating reported their...
Abstract A comprehensive neuropsychological/psychiatric, MR imaging, (MRI), spectroscopy (MRS), and functional MRI (fMRI) assessment was administered to children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) determine if global and/or focal abnormalities could be identified, distinguish diagnostic subclassifications across the spectrum. The four study groups included: 1. FAS/Partial FAS; 2. Static Encephalopathy/Alcohol Exposed (SE/AE); 3. Neurobehavioral Disorder/Alcohol (ND/AE); 4. healthy...
Prenatal alcohol exposure, at doses not generally associated with maternal problems, produces a broad array of neurocognitive deficits in offspring even the absence effects on growth and morphology. This report presents summary neurobehavioral, growth, morphology findings from long-term follow-up birth cohort 500 population-based study that has revealed attention, memory, information processing through 14 years. Also observed (from school age years) have been problems antisocial delinquent...
