Evidence-Based FASD Prevention, Diagnosis and Intervention Programs

The FASD Center for Excellence includes funding for local, state, and juvenile court organizations to implement evidence-based prevention or diagnosis and intervention programs. The Center’s Coordinating Center oversees the development and implementation of the programs through a subcontract mechanism.

The Center funded 23 subcontracts in 2008 to conduct programs and collect process and outcome data between February 1, 2008 and May 31, 2012. The programs are to achieve one of two goals:

  • FASD Prevention: Decrease the incidence of FASD by eliminating alcohol consumption by pregnant women.
  • FASD Diagnosis and Intervention: Improve the functioning and quality of life of children or youth with an FASD and their families.
