Register Now! 

This presentation will provide an overview of current research and knowledge mobilization projects supported by the Canada FASD Research Network.

 

We will provide highlights from research recently completed and underway in the areas of:

•  FASD prevention
• Diagnostics
• Intervention

Discussion will include opportunities for dialogue regarding research-informed approaches to providing direct support to children, youth, and adults living with FASD, as well as substance-using pregnant women and mothers.

We will identify how these advances can be used to inform evidence-based practice and policy-making.
