Betts, Joseph; Dawe, Sharon; Eggins, Elizabeth; Shelton, Doug; Till, Haydn; Harnett, Paul; Chandler-Mather, Ned – Campbell Systematic Reviews, 2019
Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) is associated with profound and lifelong disability. The umbrella term fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) describes a spectrum of impairments resulting from the deleterious effects of PAE (Chudley et al., 2005). While the core aspects of the condition remain unchanged, the Australian guidelines comprise two…
