Landscape of health of children and youth with Prenatal Alcohol Exposure (PAE) and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)

Children and youth with FASD have multiple health needs at every age.  This study will review the health needs of children and youth seen at the Manitoba FASD Centre over 10 years, 2013 to 2023 so that we can understand what those health needs are at different ages.  Where possible we will also try to understand life experiences they have had that may impact their health.  We will also compare the health of children and youth with FASD in Manitoba to the health of children and youth with FASD nationally to understand any similarities and differences.  We hope this information will help families know what health concerns are common among children and youth with FASD.  We also hope this information will help primary health care and social services understand what needs they have and help advocate for services they need.
