The odds of escaping these adverse life outcomes are increased 2- to 4-fold by receiving the diagnosis of FAS or FAE at an earlier age and by being reared in good stable environments.

An operationalization of the Institute of Medicine's recent definition of ARND is proposed and its prevalence in Seattle for the period 1975-1981 is estimated to be at least 9.1/1,000, confirming the perception of many health professionals that fetal alcohol exposure is a serious problem.

Comparison with a subgroup of 52 nonalcohol-exp exposed or minimally alcohol-exposed adolescents with a similar range of IQ scores demonstrated that deficits among these FAS patients were not fully explained by a general lowering of IQ.

The findings suggest that these executive function tests would be particularly useful in clinical evaluations of persons suspected of fetal alcohol damage because they would not simply reflect deficits in IQ or facial stigmata.
Moderate prenatal alcohol exposure: effects on child IQ and learning problems at age 7 1/2 years.

This study shows that alcohol use patterns within the social drinking range can have long lasting effects on IQ and learning problems in young school aged children.

There is considerable information in callosal form for prognosis of neuropsychological deficits in this frequently encountered birth defect, and a very promising bipolar discrimination of the exposed from the unexposed in this sample.
