Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) refer to the continuum of effects that can occur in individuals exposed to alcohol during fetal development. The effects can range from mild to severe and can include physical, cognitive, and behavioral issues. It is estimated that FASDs affect between 1% and 5% of American school-age children. FASDs have not been eradicated and continue to be a public health concern. While both boys and girls can be affected, there is some evidence that girls may be more vulnerable to certain types of FASD.
