FACT SHEET Fetal Alcohol Syndrome The consumption of alcohol during pregnancy is one of the leading preventable causes of birth defects and childhood disabilities in the United States. The adverse effects associated with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) range from growth deficiency, brain structure and function anomalies, and abnormalities of the head and face. It is estimated that in 1992 the cost of treating FAS-affected infants, children, and adults was over $1.9 billion. The lifetime cost per child affected with FAS is estimated to be $1.4 million. FAS and Public Awareness In 1981 the Surgeon General first advised that women should not drink alcoholic beverages during pregnancy because of the risk of birth defects. Public law 100-690 was implemented in 1989, requiring warning labels on all alcoholic beverages sold in the United States. Since 1990 the Dietary Guidelines for Americans have stated that women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should not drink alcohol. As of 1998, 19 states require the posting of

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Trust Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is a condition caused by maternal alcohol consumption during pregnancy. There is no known level of safe alcohol consumption below which it is safe to drink while pregnant. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is the world's leading preventable cause of mental retardation. Children diagnosed with FAS are irreversibly damaged. It is completely preventable. The Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Trust was originally started by the adoptive parent of a child with FAS, who having searched on information on FAS, could not find any. Once word gets around, many people including both parents/carers and professionals began asking questions. It soon became apparent that more help was needed. To that end, we registered with the Charity Commission in 1996, and called ourselves the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Trust (F.A.S.T).

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome/Prenatal Substance Exposure (updated April 2003) Where would I find some information about teaching strategies for children with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) or children with problems due to prenatal substance exposure? Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is an organic brain disorder caused by prenatal alcohol exposure. The affected person may have: height, weight, and growth deficiencies. a specific pattern of facial features. central nervous system damage i.e., a unique cluster of behavioral symptoms. One of the most debilitating characteristics of FAS and FAE is the poor ability to adapt to demands of surroundings. Educational experiences should make students as independent as possible, both now and in the future, with the outcome being adults functioning as fully as they are able. For some children, "functional" may mean following traditional academic curricula. Many students are fairly accomplished in academic subjects. To be independent, they also may need to learn to ride buses, prepare meals, use money appropriately, and not only perform a job, but use the social skills necessary to keep it. Educational goals and objectives should go beyond classroom boundaries and target skills to be used not only at school, but in homes and communities as successful, productive citizens. Following are links to related Internet resources and Internet discussion groups, as well as selected citations from the ERIC database and the search terms we used to find the citations.

FAS occurs when babies are exposed to heavy maternal drinking during pregnancy. Only a small minority of pregnant women with alcohol problems have babies with FAS. The severity of the syndrome appears to relate to the frequency of high doses of alcohol. Diagnosis is made on the basis of three main areas: Growth Washington Scale: Children with FAS are small for their age at birth, with weight, length, head circumference, or any combination of these in less than 10th centile (the lowest 10 per cent) for their age. Brain Children with FAS have delayed development and many have learning difficulties. Facial Children with FAS have at least two of the following features: microcephaly - head circumference below third centile short palpebral fissures (short space between the eyelids) or microphthalmia (small eyes) or both these features poorly developed philtrum, thin upper lip, flattening of cheekbones

F E T A L A L C O H O L S Y N D R O M E NCADD FACT SHEET There is no known safe dose of alcohol during pregnancy, ...nor does there appear to be a safe time to drink during pregnancy. DEFINITIONS Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is one of the top three known causes of birth defects with accompanying mental retardationand the only preventable cause among those three. FAS can be prevented by abstaining from alcohol consumption during pregnancy.' FAS is characterized by a cluster of congenital birth defects that develop in the infants of some women who drink heavily during pregnancy. These defects include prenatal and postnatal growth deficiency; facial malformations such as a small head circumference, flattened midface, sunken nasal bridge and flattened and elongated philtrum; central nervous system dysfunction; and varying degrees of major organ system malformations.2 Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) , a less severe version of FAS, is characterized by milder or less frequent FAS signs. Low birthweight, subtle behavioral problems or a partial display of physical malformations, for example, may be seen in the newborns of women who consumed less alcohol during pregnancy than women with FAS newborns.3 INCIDENCE AND RISK FACTORS Nearly 5,000 babiesone in every 750-are born with FAS every year. (FAS prevalence rates range from one in 1,000 to one in 200.) Comparatively, FAE may affect 36,000 newborns each year.4

Resources Fetal alcohol syndrome Definition Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a group of birth (congenital) defects occurring in an infant as a result of maternal alcohol abuse during pregnancy Description Fetal alcohol syndrome was first recognized and identified in 1968. It is currently the leading cause of mental retardation in western civilization, outranking Down Syndrome . In the United States, more than 5,000 infants are diagnosed each year. It is 100% preventable but has no cure. Congenital effects associated with FAS include: Neurologic abnormalities: mental retardation (average I.Q. of 63), small head (microcephaly), problems with movement (motor retardation), poor muscle tone, and hearing disturbances. Facial abnormalities: small eyes and/or short eye openings (palpebral fissures), underdevelopment of the upper lip, and flattening of the upper lip ridges (flat philtrum). Growth disturbances: small size and weight with growth lag before and after birth. Behavioral disturbances: infant irritability, childhood hyperactivity, and attention deficit.

No level of drinking has been proven safe. The pattern of FAS usually occurs in offspring of chronic alcohol abusers, most often in women who drink four to five drinks daily or more. However, it has occurred in women who drink less. FAE can occur in babies of women who drink moderately or lightly during pregnancy. Binge drinking of more than five drinks on any occasion is one of the strongest predictors of later behavioral and learning problems, developmental delays and mental deficits in those prenatally exposed to alcohol.

Inside Out - West: Monday 3rd February, 2003 FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME It is well documented that drinking during pregnancy can have harmful effects on the unborn child. What is less well known, is that heavy alcohol consumption in pregnancy can result in the condition known as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. It’s Friday night and the bars in Bristol are packed. Groups of young women gather to socialise over a drink or two or three A recent survey indicates that young women are drinking more than ever before, with weekend binges becoming a regular event. Such increases in alcohol consumption are undoubtedly damaging women’s health. Yet John Brooks from Dorset has another reason to worry about this trend. His adopted son Edward has acute learning and behavioural difficulties and is tiny for his age. Edward’s birth mother started drinking at age 14 and eventually died from liver failure. John believes that alcohol has played a huge part in Edward’s condition. He believes that Edward was damaged in the womb by his mother’s drinking. This kind of damage is known as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome or FAS.

UNSW Embryology Abnormal Development - Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Acknowledgements Introduction Consuming alcohol during pregnancy is the cause of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), a leading preventable cause of birth defects and mental retardation. Similar effects without the obvious alterations to appearance, but with nervous system effects, are sometimes typified as Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE). Alcohol is able to cross the placenta from maternal circulation through the placenta into fetal circulation. There is some evidence that alcohol can also directly damage DNA . Statistical information is often difficult to isolate directly, as alcohol is often combined with other drugs (tobacco, illicit drugs, etc). In addition, there is an interesting "American paradox" ( see Abel ) that Americans have a relatively low rate of per capita alcohol consumption, yet the USA has the highest incidence of FAS (20 times all other countries) in the world.
