Risk Factors for Adverse Life Outcomes in Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Fetal Alcohol Effects
Clinical descriptions of patients with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) suggest major problems with adaptive behavior. Five operationally defined adverse outcomes and 18 associated risk/protective factors were examined using a Life History Interview with knowledgeable informants of 415 patients with FAS or FAE (median age 14 years, range 6-51; median IQ 86, range 29-126). Eighty percent of these patients were not raise…
A Pilot Community Intervention for Young Women with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
Postprogram follow‐up effects of paraprofessional intervention with high‐risk women who abused alcohol and drugs during pregnancy
This study examined the postprogram follow‐up status of mothers who abused alcohol and drugs heavily during a target pregnancy, were enrolled in the Parent–Child Assistance Program (PCAP), and received paraprofessional home visitation and advocacy for 3 years after delivery. Outcomes were examined across two time intervals: between program enrollment and 3‐year exit, and between 3‐year exit and postprogram follow‐up an average of 2.5 years later.…
Intervention with high-risk alcohol and drug-abusing mothers: II. Three-year findings from the Seattle model of paraprofessional advocacy
Intervention with high-risk alcohol and drug-abusing mothers: II. Three-year findings from the Seattle model of paraprofessional advocacy
We examine the efficacy of a paraprofessional advocacy program for improving health and social outcomes of high-risk substance-abusing mothers and their children. This intervention included 3 years of home visitation, advocacy, and connection with appropriate community services. To assess the overall effectiveness of the model, clients were compared to concurrently enrolled controls on a composite variable comprised of indicators of alcohol/drug …

Intervention with high-risk alcohol and drug-abusing mothers: I. Administrative strategies of the Seattle model of paraprofessional advocacy
Administrative components of an effective home visitation program for high-risk alcohol and drug-abusing mothers are described. In this program, the home visitors are paraprofessional advocates who have an historical and cultural background in common with clients, excellent problem-solving skills, and a strong belief in the promise of a difficult clientele. Paraprofessionals can be dynamic members of the community provider system when they build …
Exploiting redundant measurement of dose and developmental outcome: New methods from the behavioral teratology of alcohol
In human teratology, the magnitude of exposures cannot be experimentally controlled. But when dose and response are both measured redundantly, a new statistical approach, Partial Least Squares, can powerfully summarize the data while avoiding familiar inferential pitfalls. Procedures of this class have been exploited in a study of the enduring effects of prenatal alcohol exposure upon neurobehavioral development of some 500 children born in 1975-…
Prenatal alcohol exposure, birthweight, and measures of child size from birth to age 14 years
OBJECTIVES. The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of prenatal alcohol exposure on offspring's weight, height, and head circumference from birth through 14 years of age. METHODS. This longitudinal prospective study examined a cohort of approximately 500 offspring (oversampled for heavier drinkers and stratified for smoking from a population of 1529 women in prenatal care at the 5th gestational month) at birth; 8 and 18 months; and 4, …
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome: Understanding the Problem; Understanding the Solution; What Indian Communities Can Do
INTRODUCTION\nFetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) has been reported in people of all racial identities. FAS is not an Indian problem per se; it is an alcohol problem. It is an Indian problem only to the extent that Indians have alcohol problems. FAS is a major public health problem in cultures that have problems with alcohol abuse.\nMany American Indian/Alaska Native communities have disproportionately high rates of FAS, both on and off reservations, bo…
Prenatal exposure to alcohol, caffeine, tobacco, and aspirin: Effects on fine and gross motor performance in 4-year-old children
Multiple regression analyses of data from 449 children indicated statistically significant relationships between moderate levels of prenatal alcohol exposure and increased errors,increased latency,and increased total time on the Wisconsin Fine Motor Steadiness Battery and poorer balance on the Gross Motor Scale
Public awareness and knowledge about the risks of drinking during pregnancy in Multnomah County, Oregon
Public awareness of the risks of drinking during pregnancy was assessed in a Northwestern metropolitan county. Ninety per cent of respondents stated spontaneously that drinking might be harmful, and one-fourth of this group felt pregnant women should customarily abstain from alcohol. The balance of those who considered drinking harmful felt an average of more than three drinks was safe for daily use. Thus awareness of risk does not necessarily re…
