Abstract
There has been increasing interest in recent years about the possible mental health risks for offspring as a result of prenatal alcohol exposure. In particular, there is considerable controversy about whether there is a safe threshold for alcohol consumption during pregnancy and whether international policy recommendations are based on evidence. This article briefly summarises the existing literature in relation to mental health outcomes in childhood, adolescence and early adulthood following prenatal alcohol exposure. It also highlights some of the possible pitfalls in the interpretation of observational epidemiological data. There are currently considerable international differences in policy recommendations about alcohol use in pregnancy. Some countries such as the USA, Canada and France have recommended complete abstinence. This appears to be based on a precautionary approach, given that no clear safe threshold for drinking has been established. In contrast, until May 2007, guidelines in the UK were that pregnant women could safely drink one or two drinks per occasion up to 1–2 times per week (that is, up to a total of four drinks/units of alcohol per week). This approach appears to be based on the lack of available evidence demonstrating that low levels of alcohol consumption are associated with later adverse outcomes. These recommendations were recently revised to advise abstinence. However, this revision was based on the perceived greater clarity of a “no drinking” message rather than on the research evidence, and the guidelines remain ambiguous as they state that women who choose to drink can drink up to the previous limits.1 A recent systematic review carried out by the National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit focused on the literature relating to risks associated with low to moderate levels of alcohol consumption and binge drinking during pregnancy.2 There is more conclusive evidence related to higher levels of drinking, manifesting at the …

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
