FAS Diagnostic and Prevention Network

2023

The Washington State Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Diagnostic & Prevention Network (FAS DPN) is a network of one Washington State community-based clinic and the core clinical/research/training FAS DPN clinic at CHDD. The FAS DPN clinic at the CHDD was first established in 1993 through support from the Centers for Disease Control. This single clinic was expanded into the statewide FAS DPN clinical network in 1995 through legislation. The goals of the FAS DPN Clinic are primary and secondary prevention of FASD through screening, diagnosis, research, and training. The FAS DPN Clinic at CHDD provides FASD diagnostic evaluations for individuals under 22 years of age who have a confirmed prenatal alcohol exposure. The team uses a rigorous, validated diagnostic system called the FASD 4-Digit Code to determine a diagnosis. http://depts.washington.edu/fasdpn/
