Download or read book Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders in Adults Ethical and Legal Perspectives written by Monty Nelson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses and provides insight on the legal and ethical dilemmas of managing those with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). This book provides a clear perspective for those clinicians and legal professionals who are working with those with this disorder, and correspondingly increases their understanding when arranging effective supports for this population. Historically, the primary focus on FASD has been on children. However, this is a lifelong disorder and the implications of this disorder become even more prominent and complex in adulthood. Those with this condition can struggle with impulsiveness, and a host of cognitive difficulties. This correspondingly impacts their independence and employability, and produces an elevated risk for homelessness and other residential issues, involvement in substance use, being exploited, development of behavioural issues, and subsequent legal difficulties. Their cognitive difficulties result in challenges for legal systems around the world to understand their issues, and to design appropriate remedial strategies, recommendations for treatments and supports, and even for understanding the failure of many of these individuals to be able to change their behaviours effectively. This produces various legal and ethical dilemmas, which are discussed in detail in this volume by 28 authors from Europe, New Zealand and North America. These include discussions regarding the rights of the unborn child, the alcohol industry’s duty to warn, whether small amounts of alcohol during pregnancy can be condoned, and even the current use of involuntary hospitalization for addicted mothers. Other chapters discuss the need for training on FASD for front line officers, use of lies during interrogation of those with FASD, medical and legal interventions for offenders with FASD, access to diagnostic services and follow-up supports, and whether FASD can be considered a mitigating factor for sentencing. Furthermore, caregivers also provide their stories regarding the daily dilemmas that are faced in raising those with FASD.
Download or read book Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders written by Barry Carpenter OBE and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) have emerged as a major phenomenon within the education, health, criminal justice and social care systems of many countries, with current prevalence figures suggesting that one in a hundred children and young people have FASDs. In this publication, academics, professionals and families from around the world have shared expertise and insights on FASDs. Their combined interdisciplinary perspective makes an invaluable contribution to how we understand and address the complex social, educational and health needs associated with this growing group of children and young people. Articulating fundamental knowledge, cutting edge initiatives and emerging trends in FASDs, this book provides an evidence base that will enable services to identify and respond to the need for action on FASDs. It recognises that families – natural, foster or adoptive – are at the heart of this process, and that their rich knowledge base, grounded in their lived experience, is crucial. Any education, social care, criminal justice or health professional working with children and young people with FASDs and their families will find this book a seminal and authoritative resource.

Book excerpt: "Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), a complex and controversial diagnosis thought to impact at least 1 in 100 Canadians, results from prenatal alcohol exposure. People with FASD report difficult circumstances and stigmatization, as do birth mothers and women who drink alcohol while pregnant. Given limited public knowledge about FASD in Canada, news media is one possible source of public information and misinformation. Consequently, given challenges posed by FASD and associated stigma, we conducted two studies on 1) media discourse about FASD in Canada; and 2) lived experiences of Canadian FASD stakeholders. The first study, a media content analysis of 286 Canadian print media articles published from 2002-2015, identified several consequential areas of ethical concern on science and health communication, portrayals of people with FASD, and social expectations borne by women and mothers. These included exaggerated Indigenous FASD prevalence, contradictory health advice for pregnant women, and accurate information lacking context. We also saw an overemphasis on connections between FASD and criminal behaviour, and messaging that held women alone responsible for a child's wellbeing. Building on this analysis, the second study, a multi-category focus group project with 63 participants in three stakeholder groups (i.e., people with FASD, caregivers, and professionals) across several Canadian urban centres, explored participant experiences, and reactions to and recommendations about news coverage and public discourse. Participants identified a range of stereotypes associated with FASD, alcohol, and pregnancy, as well as five overlapping and sometimes conflicting recommendations to shift and improve public discourse - hope, inclusion, fear, education, and community. This interdisciplinary research offers insight into such questions and suggests that more work is needed to understand the impact of different discursive and interventional strategies on many complex and intersecting stakeholder identities"--

Download or read book Fetal Alcohol Syndrome written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1996-04-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It sounds simple: Women who drink while pregnant may give birth to children with defects, so women should not drink during pregnancy. Yet in the 20 years since it was first described in the medical literature, fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) has proved to be a stubborn problem, with consequences as serious as those of the more widely publicized "crack babies." This volume discusses FAS and other possibly alcohol-related effects from two broad perspectives: diagnosis and surveillance, and prevention and treatment. In addition, it includes several real-life vignettes of FAS children. The committee examines fundamental concepts for setting diagnostic criteria in general, reviews and updates the diagnostic criteria for FAS and related conditions, and explores current research findings and problems associated with FAS epidemiology and surveillance. In addition, the book describes an integrated multidisciplinary approach to research on the prevention and treatment of FAS. The committee: Discusses levels of preventive intervention. Reviews available data about women and alcohol abuse and treatment among pregnant women. Explores the psychological and behavioral consequences of FAS at different ages. Examines the current state of knowledge about medical and therapeutic interventions, education efforts, and family support programs. This volume will be of special interest to physicians, nurses, mental health practitioners, school and public health officials, policymakers, researchers, educators, and anyone else involved in serving families and children, especially in high risk populations.

Download or read book Prevention Recognition and Management of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders written by Raja A. S. Mukherjee and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-31 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents clinical assessment and management solutions for those people who are exposed to Alcohol in Pregnancy. Over the last few decades we have begun to understand the enduring effects of prenatal alcohol exposure on the developing fetus. The consequence of prenatal alcohol exposure - Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders is a lifelong disorder and affects children and adults. It is a condition which is significantly under-recognised for many reasons. Assessment and diagnosis requires the input of multiple different professionals, and referral pathways are often poorly developed or non-existent. Information to support and guide these professionals in practical ways, what to do and how to help, remains limited. This book seeks to fill some of that gap by offering professionals, clear and useable research-based information and guidance that will help in their practice whilst also being a useful resource for anyone new to this increasingly recognised area of work. The book is divided into four broad areas bringing together chapters authored by experts in their field including those with lived experiences. Part one focuses on presenting an overview of the condition, and approaching women about their alcohol use and risk followed by part two focusing more around diagnostic issues. Part three follows with management advice, and part four revolves around policy and health prevention in general. Each chapter is designed to offer insight but also practical tips and support in an accessible manner. The book offers an essential guide for a broad range of health and social care professionals working with this condition.
