Adults with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder
Adults aged 19+
We want to learn more about the mental and physical health of individuals with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and how this differs from individuals who were not prenatally exposed to alcohol. We can then use our findings to provide experts with the knowledge to create additional resources for such individuals with FASD or others who may benefit from such resources.
Who is Eligible
Individuals with an FASD diagnosis over 19 years old
OR
Individuals WITHOUT an FASD diagnosis over 19 years old
OR
Individuals over 65 years of age

IMMUNE HERO STUDY
Children aged 7-12
We're exploring how fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) and autism (ASD) shape children's health. This study looks at how FASD and ASD affect the brain, heart, immune system, and gut microbiome. By understanding these connections, we aim to strengthen support for children with FASD and autistic children — turning research into real-world change for families, educators, and healthcare providers.
Who can participate:
Children ages 7-12 with FASD, Autistic children, and typically developing children
Parent/Guardian of the child will also be asked to complete a number of questionnaires about the child
