Title of project:
Does Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) classification predict engagement in adolescent Multiple Risk Behaviours (MRBs)?
Proposal summary:
To explore the associations between fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) / Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) and adolescent multiple risk behaviours (MRBs). We are interested in exploring the prospective associations between prenatal alcohol exposure and MRBs, such as self-harm, drug use, tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption which are known to increase through adolescence and may persist into adulthood leading to multiple and composite adverse health outcomes. Identifying at risk adolescents could be used to aid the development of interventions and preventative policy.
Impact of research:
An MSc dissertation and possibly a peer-reviewed paper
