FASDs are considered to be one of the leading causes of developmental disability, with an estimated 2-5% of children being born with FASD each year in the world. Despite its high prevalence, FASD is often misdiagnosed or underdiagnosed, making intervention more challenging. A multidisciplinary team of providers who understand the diagnostic requirements is crucial for an accurate FASD diagnosis.\u003cbr\u003eThis text provides a comprehensive, state-of-the art review of this field, and serves as a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers with an interest in FASD. The book provides a detailed overview for clinicians of various backgrounds on the diagnostic process, extensive mechanistic and embryologic data, neuropsychologic aspects of the condition, prevention and treatment approaches, and the ethical, legal, and policy perspectives that impact patients and families.\u003cbr\u003eThe chapters are organized parallel to the journey of individuals who experience alcohol-related conditions, beginning with the prenatal period addressing epidemiology of alcohol exposure, prevention and interventions, continuing through the fetal experience with a focus on embryology. Challenges of children and their families are considered next including the diagnostic process and health effects. Finally, issues related to systems of care for individuals with FASD and the broader community are addressed. The global context of FASD is presented throughout the textbook.\u003cbr\u003eWritten by experts in the field, \u003ci\u003eFetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders\u003c\/i\u003e provides a concise yet comprehensive summary of the current status of this issue that helps guide prevention efforts, the diagnostic process, school and community interventions, and global policy efforts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 1 (Women and Prenatal Alcohol Exposure)\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 1:    Epidemiology of Prenatal Alcohol Exposure\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 2:    Protective and Risk Factors\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 3:    The preconception period and prevention\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 4:    The prenatal period\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePart 2 (The Impact of Prenatal Alcohol Exposure on the Developing Embryo and Fetus)\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 5:    Mechanisms of Teratogenesis\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 6:    Early embryology\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 7:    Fetal embryology\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 8:    Assessing the Newborn\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePart 3 (FASD and the Individual Across the Lifespan)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 9:    Evolution of Diagnostic Systems\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 10:  The Diagnostic Process\u003c\/p\u003e  CHAPTER 11:  Alcohol and the Brain\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 12:  Physical and Mental Health\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 13:  Interventions     \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePart 4 (Ethics, Policies, and Systems of Care)\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 14:  Ethical, legal, and social issues\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 15:  Policy and Alcohol Advertising\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 16:  Child Welfare\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 17:  The Education system\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 18:  The Justice system\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer International Publishing AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53516341117271,"sku":"9783031323850","price":107.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/fetal-alcohol-spectrum-disorders-a-multidisciplinary-approach-9783031323850","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
