This research aimed to develop a Fetal Alcohol Behavior Scale (FABS) that describes the behavioral essence of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) and fetal alcohol effects (FAE), regardless of age, race, sex, and IQ. Using a reference sample of 472 diagnosed patients with FAS or FAE, ages 2 to 51, five studies are described. The FABS demonstrates high item-to-scale reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.91) and good test-retest reliability (r = 0.69) over an average interval of 5 years. It identifies many of the subjects with known or presumed prenatal alcohol exposure in detection studies using both prison and general samples. FABS scores also predict dependent living among adult patients with FAS/FAE. The FABS is uncorrelated with IQ, sex, age, race, and diagnosis (FAS versus FAE). We outline areas of further work to define the specificity and utility of this FABS.
本研究旨在开发一种胎儿酒精行为量表(FABS),该量表可描述胎儿酒精综合征(FAS)和胎儿酒精影响(FAE)的行为本质,而不受年龄、种族、性别和智商的影响。使用472名年龄在2至51岁之间被诊断为FAS或FAE的患者作为参考样本,描述了五项研究。FABS在平均5年的时间间隔内显示出较高的项目与量表信度(克朗巴哈系数α = 0.91)和良好的重测信度(r = 0.69)。在使用监狱样本和一般样本的检测研究中,它能识别出许多已知或推测有产前酒精暴露的受试者。FABS分数还可预测FAS/FAE成年患者的依赖性生活状况。FABS与智商、性别、年龄、种族和诊断(FAS与FAE)无关。我们概述了进一步开展工作的领域,以明确该FABS的特异性和实用性。
