Caregiver and family quality of life for children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder
N Reid
Summary
The current study provides increased understanding regarding caregiver and family quality of life, in families with children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. This information was gathered using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) Family Impact Module. The results from the current study demonstrate the potential applicability of a paediatric chronic health approach to considering the impact of FASD on caregiver and family functioning. Furthermore, the current study identified the need for interventions to address caregiver mental health in order to optimise child outcomes.
