Toronto The FASD Leadership Team Invites you to a Presentation on:
Comorbidity of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder:
A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Presenter: Dr. Svetlana (Lana) Popova, MD, PhDs, MPH is a Senior Scientist in Social and Epidemiological Research (SER) at CAMH. She is also an Associate Professor at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health, Epidemiology Division and the Factor Inwentash Faculty of Social Work at the University of Toronto. She has an appointment as a Graduate Faculty Associate Member with the Institute of Medical Science, University of Toronto.
Dr. Popova has a national and global presence as a researcher in the field of mental health and addiction, particularly fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD), which are recognized as the leading known preventable cause of developmental delay and intellectual disability among Canadians. Dr. Popova’s research focuses on the epidemiology, economic cost, prevention and intervention strategies related to FASD.
Currently, Dr. Popova is co-leading one of the largest studies – funded by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) – on determining the global prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders (with focus on FASD) among children in more than 10 low- and middle-income countries of Eastern and Central Europe, Africa, as well as Canada (with more countries to join within the next five years.) Dr. Popova is a principal investigator of the Canadian component of this study, which is part of the National Strategic Projects Fund in Canada. She is also a principal investigator of the study examining the burden and economic costs associated with FASD in Canada, supported by the Public Health Agency of Canada. She was also one of the conductors of the second Canadian Cost Study on Substance Abuse in Canada.
