Evaluation of the German biographic screening interview for fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (BSI-FASD)

Abstract Alcohol consumption during pregnancy may lead to permanent damage in the offspring, including fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD), which have an estimated prevalence of 1–8% worldwide. In adulthood, diagnosing FASD is time-consuming and costly. This study aimed to evaluate the discrimin...
