Background Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) are a set of neurodevelopmental differences associated with prenatal exposure to alcohol. Emotion regulation is a core challenge often seen in FASD. The ability to recognize and label emotional experiences, as well as parent response to emotion, is important in the development of emotion regulation...

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) are among the most common neurodevelopmental disabilities. Individuals with FASD experience postnatal adversity (PA; i.e., child maltreatment or other potentially traumatic events) at exceedingly high rates. This adversity is connected to increased internalizing and externalizing symptomatology. The current s...

Aim To quantify regional subcortical brain volume anomalies in youth with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), assess the relative sensitivity and specificity of abnormal volumes in FASD vs. a comparison group, and examine associations with cognitive function. Method Participants: 47 children with FASD and 39 typically-developing comparison par...

People with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) experience significant behavioral and academic challenges and high rates of exclusionary discipline practices (EDP). The current study investigated teachers’ perspectives on barriers and facilitators to recognizing students with FASD in the classroom, and how teachers develop and use preventative...

Objectives Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) affect the health and development of people across the lifespan. Adults with FASD experience significant barriers to care. Accessible and scalable solutions are needed. In partnership with members of the International Adult Leadership Collaborative of FASD Changemakers, an international group of ad...

Objective Caregivers raising children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) have limited access to evidence-based supports. This single-arm feasibility trial assesses the Families Moving Forward (FMF) Connect app to determine readiness for a larger randomized controlled trial (RCT). Methods Eligibility for this online trial included caregiv...

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) are among the most common neurodevelopmental disorders and substantially impact public health. FASD can affect people of all races and ethnicities; however, there are important racial and ethnic disparities in alcohol-exposed pregnancy prevention, assessment and diagnosis of FASD, and interventions to support...

Background Children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) often experience delayed, missed, or incorrect diagnosis due to low FASD awareness and diagnostic capacity. Current strategies to expand awareness and diagnostic capacity are insufficient or impractical. Methods This project examined the feasibility of Extension for Community Healthca...

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) represent a wide range of neurodevelopmental differences associated with prenatal alcohol exposure and are highly prevalent. The current study represents the initial stages in adapting the Families Moving Forward (FMF) Program, an evidence‐based behavioral consultation intervention for caregivers of children...

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) refers to physical and neurodevelopmental symptoms associated with prenatal alcohol exposure. While much is known about deficits in FASD, little research has focused on strengths and quality of life. The “From Surviving to Thriving” model illustrates a perspective shift from deficits-based to strengths-based r...

The following review explores brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) literature in fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). A literature search was conducted utilizing PubMed and PsycINFO. Search terms included: “fetal alcohol spectrum disorders,” “prenatal alcohol exposure,” “FAS,” “FASD,” “PAE,” “neuroimaging,” “MRI,” “fMRI,” “DTI,” “MRS,” “infan...

Background Individuals with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) experience heightened rates of childhood trauma and adversity. Research has examined the negative impact adverse childhood experiences have on developmental outcomes. This study aims to take the field a step further by examining the details of traumatic events, including duration,...

Background Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) is associated with abnormalities in cortical structure and maturation, including cortical thickness (CT), cortical volume, and surface area. This study provides a longitudinal context for the developmental trajectory and timing of abnormal cortical maturation in PAE. Methods We studied 35 children with PA...

Introduction Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), a life-long condition resulting from prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE), is associated with structural brain anomalies and neurobehavioral differences. Evidence from longitudinal neuroimaging suggest trajectories of white matter microstructure maturation are atypical in PAE. We aimed to further char...

Background Children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) have high rates of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). ACEs are associated with a wide range of health outcomes including difficulty with behavior regulation, an important intervention target. However, the effect of ACEs on different areas of behavior has not been well characterized...

Background: Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) represent a wide range of neurodevelopmental differences associated with prenatal alcohol exposure. Though FASD is highly prevalent, teachers generally report feeling ill-equipped to support their students with FASD. The Families Moving Forward (FMF) Program is an evidence-based behavioral consult...

The goal of this study was to examine: 1) differences in parent-reported prosocial and antisocial behaviors between children and adolescents with and without prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE); 2) differences in gray matter volumes of brain areas supporting social cognition between children and adolescents with and without PAE; 3) correlations between...

Background Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) is linked to a variety of neurodevelopmental challenges, including social functioning (SF) and executive functioning (EF) deficits. These deficits present differently across developmental stages from preschool age to adolescence. Methods The post hoc analyses described here were conducted on data from 83...

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) affects 2–5% of the children in the United States. In the preschool age-range, inhibitory deficits frequently manifest as impaired ability to delay gratification, which is associated with deficits in cognitive flexibility in these children. The goal of this longitudinal study was to determine whether the abili...
