Screening Test Can Identify Subtle Signs of Prenatal Alcohol Exposure in Newborns, Potentially Facilitating Early Developmental Intervention, Study Suggests
The developmental risk linked to mild-to-moderate prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) can be identified in infants, according to a study that tested a screening tool with 130 newborns. In alcohol-exposed babies, the tool picked up subtle differences in attention and regulation that are associated with lower cognitive and motor functioning in early childhood. This finding points to a critical opportunity for early intervention and the potential for improving long-term outcomes. People exposed to alcohol in utero can face lifelong impacts on their physical growth, learning, and behavior, a constellation of symptoms known as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). In the US, up to 1 in 20 school-age children may be affected by FASD. FASD is typically not identified until children are in school, and misdiagnoses are common. The effects of mild-to-moderate PAE, the most common range of exposure, have been especially challenging to characterize. For the study in Alcohol: Clinical & Experimental
