Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

People with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) often receive inadequate supports, which can lead to an increased risk of becoming involved in the criminal legal system (CLS). This study compared the needs of people with prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE)/FASD with and without CLS contact and examined patterns of intervention recommendations across groups. Data was drawn from the Canadian National FASD Database and included 544 people with PAE/FASD (M age = 21.1, SD = 8.9, 69.1 % male), matched on age, IQ, and sex, in CLS (n = 272) and non-CLS (n = 272) groups. Several key indicators of CLS contact were identified including having a diagnosis of substance use disorder and experiences of alcohol use/misuse. Recommendations for intervention were more often given for people with CLS contact compared to those without, particularly in respect to mental/physical health and safety needs. Understanding these needs is critical for informing clinical and forensic practice, prevention and intervention planning, and developing and implementing evidence-informed practices to support individuals with FASD.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
