Preserving Families of Children in Child Welfare with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders: Challenges and Opportunities
Child Welfare. 2023 Oct 1;101(3):209-234.ABSTRACTThe mission of child welfare is to ensure children's safety, permanency, and well-being. It is also charged with preserving and strengthening families and with avoiding the removal of children who can be kept at home safely. This paper addresses some of the challenges in meeting these concurrent goals in work with children prenatally exposed to alcohol and their families. Current child welfare practices are unlikely to identify prenatal alcohol exposure or children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). Yet if this exposure is identified when families come into contac...

Functional connectivity of cognition-related brain networks in adults with fetal alcohol syndrome
Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) can result in cognitive dysfunction. Cognitive functions affected are subserved by few functional brain networks. Functional connectivity (FC) in these networks can be assessed wit... (Source: BMC Medicine)

The role of general practitioners in Reunion in detecting alcohol use in pregnant women and identifying fetal alcohol spectrum disorder: a qualitative study
AbstractBackgroundFetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is the leading cause of non-genetic intellectual disability and social maladjustment in children. International guidelines recommend abstinence from alcohol during pregnancy. R éunion is the most affected of all French regions with an estimated Fetal Alcohol Spectrum (FAS) prevalence of 1.2‰ births. General practitioners (GPs) are at the forefront of identifying patients with FASD. Objective: To understand how GPs identify FASD.MethodsQualitative study using a grounded theory approach, through semi-structured face-to-face interviews with GPs. Interviews were condu...

Secondary physical features in children with FASD
CONCLUSION: Secondary physical features were not more frequent in children with ARND compared to children without an FASD diagnosis but were a marker for lower cognitive function. The use of secondary physical features to support a diagnosis of ARND was not supported in this sample.PMID:38042254 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejmg.2023.104890 (Source: European Journal of Medical Genetics)
