1.46 psychopharmacological treatments of adhd-like symptoms in children prenatally exposed to alcohol/drugs: towards a model of care

Children prenatally exposed to alcohol/drugs present with ADHD-like symptoms in up to 74 percent of cases, but reduced efficacy of stimulant medications and high prevalence of comorbid look-alike symptoms in this population limits optimal mental illness treatment. The goal of the current presentation is to propose a model for mental health care for this population based on data from our clinical cohort.
