20:07   Diagnosis of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder is essential to
improve outcomes for affected individuals and families, and to inform pre-pregnancy counselling to prevent future cases. This guideline from the Canada Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Research Network provides evidence-based recommendations for best practices in the diagnosis of this condition.

In this podcast, two of the authors of the guideline explain what to
look for in clinical practice. Dr. Valerie Temple is a clinical
psychologist at Surrey Place Centre in Toronto, and Dr. Christine Loock is a developmental pediatrician at Children’s and Women’s Health Centre of British Columbia, with an academic appointment at UBC.

– Coming Soon –
Revised Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder: Guidelines for Diagnosis Across the Lifespan
Since publication of the 2005 Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD): Canadian Guidelines for Diagnosis, new evidence and information has emerged.
For this reason, the Public Health Agency of Canada tasked CanFASD with updating and revising the guidelines through consultation with national and international experts and review of the research literature. Release of the new Canadian guidelines, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder: Guidelines for Diagnosis Across the Lifespan, is expected in early 2015

The International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health—IJERPH (ISSN 1660-4601, IF 2.145) is currently running a Special Issue entitled “Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)”. Assoc. Prof. Svetlana Popova (from University of Toronto) and Dr. Larry Burd (from North Dakota Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Center) are serving as the Guest Editors for this issue. Based on your expertise in this field, we think that you could make an excellent contribution.

The goal of this Special Issue is to publish papers that expand our current knowledge of prenatal alcohol and other substances’ exposure and FASD and make it accessible to the research community, educators, policy makers, and others interested in this area. We invite all FASD-related research submissions, and we especially encourage the submission of papers from authors in developing countries where there are less infrastructure and traditional support of research on prenatal substance use exposure and FASD. The keywords listed below provide an outline of some of the possible areas of interest.

• prevention
• treatment
• recent advances in screening and diagnosis
• therapeutic and non-therapeutic interventions
• comorbidities
• mortality
• epidemiology
• economic cost
• risk factors of maternal substance use and FASD
• outcome trajectories (children, adults, and elderly people with FASD)
• law enforcement
• service delivery (i.e., health care, special education, etc.)
• experience and perception (patients and carers living with FASD, and practitioners)
• policy

For further reading, please follow the link to the Special Issue website at: http://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijerph/special_issues/FASD

The submission deadline is 15 April 2019. You may send your manuscript now or up until the deadline. Submitted papers should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. We also encourage authors to send a short abstract or tentative title to the Editorial Office in advance (ijerph@mdpi.com).

IJERPH is fully open access. Open access (unlimited and free access by readers) increases publicity and promotes more frequent citations, as indicated by several studies. Open access is supported by the authors and their institutes. An Article Processing Charge (APC) of CHF 1600 currently applies to all accepted papers (APC: CHF 1800 from 1 January 2019 onwards).

For further details on the submission process, please see the instructions for authors at the journal website (http://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijerph/instructions).

We look forward to hearing from you soon.
