FAS DPN
FAS Diagnostic and Prevention Network
The Washington State Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Diagnostic & Prevention Network (FAS DPN) is a network of five WA State community-based clinics linked by the core clinical/research/training clinic at the Center on Human Development and Disability at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA.
Susan J. Astley, Ph.D., Professor of Epidemiology, is the Director of the FAS DPN.
Each clinic in the network uses the same interdisciplinary approach to diagnosis and the same systematic diagnostic method-the 4-Digit Diagnostic Code. The mission of the FAS DPN is primary and secondary prevention of FAS through screening, diagnosis, intervention, training, education, and research. The WA State FAS DPN began diagnosing patients in 1993 and has diagnosed over 2,000 patients to date.

Official journal of the FACE research Network.
FACE (Fetal Alcohol Canadian Expertise) is a network of nearly 200 researchers, program providers and other stakeholders, actively engaged in FASD prevention and intervention. At FACE Research Roundtables held each year on or about September 9th, members and guests continue the time-honored tradition of research collaboration -- presenting scientific findings for peer review, describing successful service models, and identifying next steps in the fight against FASD. Since 2000, Roundtable participants have been the first to: uncover new findings on alcohol's effects on the brain; determine the incidence of FASD in various regions and populations; quantify the direct medical and educational costs of FASD in Canada and social impact of FASD on an individual's life; develop new screening methods; highlight the role of fathers in the prevention of FASD; identify the service needs of children affected by FASD and develop award-winning programs to help pregnant women who use alcohol overcome their addiction.

Alcohol use during pregnancy is a growing problem in Europe. Prenatal exposure to alcohol can cause growth retardation, birth defects and brain damage. In many countries, nonprofit groups and government agencies are fighting this problem. The purpose of this website is to share information and resources among all who are working for alcohol-free pregnancies in Europe as an informal network.
This website is an initiative of the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Foundation of the Netherlands.
