Prenatal alcohol exposure is the cause of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs), the prevalence of which is similar to that of other developmental disabilities like Down syndrome and autism. Children, adolescents, and adults who live with the disabilities associated with prenatal alcohol exposure face extraordinary challenges throughout their lives. Pediatric providers need to be able to identify patients with FASD because early recognition and intervention is known to improve life outcomes for affected individuals. The purposes of this continuing education activity are to report what is known about the prevalence of FASDs; to detail the spectrum of problems experienced by affected individuals; and to suggest specific strategies for preventing, identifying, and managing FASDs in clinical practice.
产前酒精暴露是胎儿酒精谱系障碍（FASDs）的病因，其患病率与唐氏综合征和自闭症等其他发育障碍相似。患有与产前酒精暴露相关残疾的儿童、青少年和成年人在其一生中面临着巨大的挑战。儿科医疗服务提供者需要能够识别患有FASD的患者，因为已知早期识别和干预可改善受影响个体的生活结局。本次继续教育活动的目的是报告关于FASDs患病率的已知情况；详细说明受影响个体所经历的问题范围；并提出在临床实践中预防、识别和管理FASDs的具体策略。
