89 BURDEN OF PRENATAL EXPOSURE TO ALCOHOL: 2018 REVISED MEASUREMENT OF COST

摘要

In Canada the incidence of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is estimated to be one in 100 live births. FASD is the leading cause of developmental and cognitive disabilities in Canada. In 2013, we examined the cost of FASD in Canada. In that study we did not include the cost of specialized programs for children under the age of 3 years old, cost of transition from the prison system to community, or an in-depth analysis of cost to the caregiver.
