Abstract
The experienced team of researchers, McCarthy, Mukerjee, Fleming, Green, Clayton-Smith, Price, Allely, and Cook describe a well-designed and thoughtful study of the Prevalence of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) in Greater Manchester, UK. This paper is a contribution to the field, for it represents one of a handful of active case ascertainment (ACA) studies of FASD carried out among school children in Europe. McCarthy et al. report a minimal prevalence of FASD of 1.8% and an estimated rate of 3.4% if probable cases are included.
