Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders are a group of serious, chronic, systemic diseases that are caused by prenatal alcohol exposure and characterized by central nervous system damage and physical deficits that subsequently lead to a wide range of permanent and lifelong health consequences. Individuals exposed to alcohol prenatally are at greater risk of having comorbid conditions1 and premature mortality2 than individuals who have not been exposed to alcohol prenatally. The financial burden associated with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders is substantial, estimated to cost (Can) $1.8 billion to Canadian society in 2013.3
