12.2% of pregnant women (about 1 in 8) reported any alcohol use in the U.S.
And then,,,
• The rate of drinking and alcohol use disorders are increasing especially in younger women in Korea.
• Therefore, we could expect that there might be substantial risk of FASD in number of kids with FASD in Korea.
However, we have just several case reports on kids with FAS,,,
• Hong KD, Yoo IC, Choi HS, Lee DH, Lee SJ. A case of fetal alcohol syndrome. Korean J Pediatr 1988;31:375-80.
• Kim EJ, Yang SM, Yun J, Lee HK, Yu YH, Lee HS. A Case of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1998 Jul;41(7):1001-1005.

How could we start ?
DrinkingMother
Disabled Kids
Reliable maternal drinking information
Barrier to getting information
Long term follow up to confirm FASD
Difficult to getting information about maternal drinking
Easy to examination about FASD with Kids
Clinical based referral modelInter referral system
(OB - PD - NP)
Outreach to institution for disabled kid
Work with disabled kid registration system
Exploratory visit & Pilot study
• Un experienced specialist
• No social awareness
• No data to support the need for research
• Social stigma and denial
Develop pilot projectWork with experienced specialistVisit various setting of institution
(High risk group)Trial of diagnosis of FASD kids
Process
Selection of Institution
Institution for MR kid, Orphanage, Special
school,,,
Screening
Height or Weight is Under 10 percentile
Diagnosis
Dysmorphologic examination
Inclusion criteria for diagnostic examination
• Age – from 5 to 16 yrs
• Kids with Mental Retardation
• Exclusion of Kids with Cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and so forth…
• Also, behavioral referrals were solicited from teachers.
