The objective of this study was to consider the implications of a recent Western Australia Court of Appeal decision in which an indigenous youth who had been sentenced for the manslaughter of his neonate child was later diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder.
The increased use of the 2016 Australian guide to the diagnosis of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder should be encouraged to enable clinicians to not only diagnose and manage Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder, but also counsel families to prevent it.
本研究的目的是探讨西澳大利亚上诉法院最近一项判决的影响,在该判决中,一名因过失杀害其新生儿而被判刑的土著青年后来被诊断出患有胎儿酒精谱系障碍。
应鼓励更多使用2016年澳大利亚胎儿酒精谱系障碍诊断指南,以使临床医生不仅能够诊断和管理胎儿酒精综合征障碍,还能为家庭提供咨询以预防该疾病。
