Trends in Well-Being and Opportunities to Support Caregivers of Individuals With Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Across the Lifespan. [PDF]
Alcohol Clin Exp Res (Hoboken)Caregivers of individuals with FASD report high levels of stress, with well‐being significantly influenced by factors like employment status and number of dependents. These findings emphasize the need for tailored interventions and policies that address specific sociodemographic contexts to better support caregiver stability and overall family thriving.

Developmental Deficiency of Oligodendrocytes and Myelination in the Central Nervous System of the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Mouse Model. [PDF]
CNS Neurosci TherImpaired myelination was observed in the central nervous system (CNS) of the male fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) offspring associated with hyperactivity‐like behaviors, whereas the female FASD mice exhibit delayed myelin formation and normal behaviors, indicating a gender‐specific manner of FASD pathology.

Validity of an Online Cognitive Screening Tool for FASD: Testing the Equivalence of BRAIN‐online to Neuropsychological Assessment Measures [PDF]
Alcohol Clin Exp Res (Hoboken)BRAIN‐online, an online screening tool for fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD), was previously shown to accurately identify individuals with prenatal alcohol exposure. The current study demonstrated correlation and measurement equivalence to gold‐standard neuropsychological measures. BRAIN‐online and in‐person neuropsychological assessment also had
