"Giving Voice": Evaluation of an Integrated Telehealth Community Care Model by Parents/Guardians of Children Diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder in Manitoba.

Conclusions: This study provides support for the use of telehealth as an effective technology beyond diagnosis for individuals with FASD and their families. Families support the utilization of this technology and, despite its minor shortcomings, appreciate the flexibility of telehealth, which allows them to remain in their home communities, connected to their families and support systems.
