What's #FASD? Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by alcohol exposure during pregnancy.

Know the expert advice - if you're pregnant or planning a pregnancy, the safest approach is to not drink alcohol at all.

#CIFASD Highlight: FASD-Tree

Up to 80% of individuals with #FASD are misdiagnosed or undiagnosed. Dr. Sarah Mattson of CIFASD is working to improve #FASDScreening through tools like FASD-Tree, a simple, low-cost clinical tool using a physical exam and parent questionnaires.
