Current Research
CanFASD is currently involved in over 50 research projects related to FASD. Below are a few of the major current and ongoing research projects that we are working on.
Medication Algorithm
Physicians may prescribe medication to treat symptoms in individuals with FASD. Using available research, a team of researchers and clinicians created a medication algorithm to help guide clinicians when prescribing medications for people with a diagnosis related to prenatal alcohol exposure. The algorithm is currently being evaluated. Learn more about the medication algorithm.
CARE Study
Our study about the experiences of people who are caring for those with FASD seeks to understand the full picture of caregiving experiences. This is an ongoing study with updates published twice a year. Caregivers from around the world are invited to participate. Learn more about the CARE Study.
National FASD Database
The National FASD Database is the only project of its kind in Canada. FASD diagnostic clinics across Canada input data into this database to give us a better picture of what FASD looks like in Canada. It is one of the ways we are building on FASD research and evidence to improve outcomes. Learn more about the National FASD Database.
