Announcing our list for the top FASD articles of 2020! Every January CanFASD does a literature search for research that was published within the previous year. This year the search revealed over 400 articles published on FASD in 2020.
Our final list was selected by a group of CanFASD staff, researchers, and members of the Family Advisory Committee. It was difficult to narrow down a list of over 400 excellent publications to just 30. The articles we’ve chosen reflect CanFASD’s areas of emphasis for FASD research: assessment and diagnosis; intervention; mental health; prevention; child welfare; justice; and family collaboration.
