The authors were invited by the band council to carry out a study to determine the prevalence of alcohol embryopathy among children in a native Indian community in British Columbia. The mothers of the 123 children aged 18 years or less who lived in the community were interviewed. In addition, educational screening was carried out for children in grades 1 through 12, and 116 of the children underwent medical examination. A diagnosis of fetal alcohol syndrome or fetal alcohol effects (FAS/FAE) was made in 22 children aged 3 to 18 years. Each of these children was matched for age and sex with an unaffected child in the same community, and both groups underwent psychoeducational testing. The children with FAS/FAE showed a generalized depressed level of functioning compared with the unaffected children. The finding that two thirds of the children with FAS/FAE were mentally retarded points to a major health and education problem.
作者受该部落议会邀请开展一项研究，以确定不列颠哥伦比亚省一个印第安原住民社区儿童中酒精性胚胎病的患病率。对居住在该社区的123名18岁及以下儿童的母亲进行了访谈。此外，对1至12年级的儿童进行了教育筛查，116名儿童接受了医学检查。在22名3至18岁的儿童中诊断出胎儿酒精综合征或胎儿酒精影响（FAS/FAE）。这些儿童中的每一个都在年龄和性别上与同一社区中未受影响的儿童进行匹配，两组都接受了心理教育测试。与未受影响的儿童相比，患有FAS/FAE的儿童表现出普遍的功能水平下降。FAS/FAE儿童中有三分之二智力迟钝这一发现表明存在一个重大的健康和教育问题。
