Journal of Intellectual & Developmental Disability – Knowledge, attitudes and practices towards fetal alcohol spectrum disorder among healthcare workers in New Zealand
Of the 96 participants, more than 90% self-reported a good or very good understanding of FASD, and around half had a patient with FASD. However, less than half felt prepared to support someone with FASD. Participants identified lack of professional training, services, and funding as barriers to support individuals with FASD.
