2 Sometimes Life Gets This Way. With FASD, It Stays This Way!!!!

3 What is FASD? Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder FASD is the leading cause of mental retardation in western civilization today! (Journal of American Medical Association) FASD is caused by a mother s drinking alcoholic beverages during pregnancy. Research shows that alcohol damage to the developing baby occurs over a wide continuum. Damage varies due to volume of alcohol ingested, timing during pregnancy, blood alcohol levels, genetics and environmental factors. At the mild end, damage may be either loss of some intellectual functioning (IQ), attention deficit disorder, hearing and visual problems, and higher than normal pain tolerance.

4 What is FASD Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder At the severe end, damage may be severe loss of intellectual potential, severe vision problems, dyslexia, serious maxiofacial deformities, dental abnormalities, heart defects, immune system malfunctioning, behavioral problems, attention deficit disorders, hyper-activity, extreme impulsiveness, poor judgment, difficulty with memory retention and retrieval, deafness, little or no capacity for moral judgment or interpersonal empathy, sociopathic behavior, epilepsy, p tremors, cerebral palsy, renal failure, heart failure, death.

5 FASD Terminology FAS (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome) FAE (Fetal Alcohol Effect) ARBD (Alcohol-related l l dbithd Birth Defects) ARND (Alcohol Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder) pfas (Partial Fetal Alcohol Syndrome)

6 Who is at Greatest risk for having a child with FASD? Women with a college education Unmarried woman Female students Women who smoke Women in households w/greater than $50,000 annual income

7 FASD STATISTICS The combined rate of FAS and ARND is estimated to be at least 9.1/1,000. This conservative rate--nearly one in every 100 live births--confirms the perception of many health professionals that fetal alcohol exposure is a serious problem. Sampson PD, Streissguth AP, Bookstein FL, Little RE,Clarren SK, Dehaene P, Hanson JW, Graham JM Jr. Department of Statistics, University of Washington, Seattle 98195, USA. Teratology 1997 Nov; 56(5):317-26
