dc.description.abstract | Organic solvents are inexpensive and commonly available substances of abuse that are found in
accessible items such as spray paint, lacquer and glues, and which are often abused by young
people in poverty. Solvents are highly lipophilic and can cross the plancenta resulting in fetal
exposure. Case reports have suggested that children exposed in utero to solvents have
developmental and/or physical features similar to those seen in children with a diagnosis of Fetal
Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. This study will describe in detail the developmental and behavioral
profile of children with prenatal solvent exposure. The student will use the database at the
Manitoba FASD Centre and conduct a retrospective quantitative and qualitative chart review.
The objective was to complete a chart review on a large clinical cohort of solvent exposed
children with regards to dysmorphology, medical comorbidity and neurodevelopmental
characteristics. | en_US |
