ABOUT THE ACTIVITY

Study Overview:

This activity is being conducted on behalf of the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (CAHS). CAHS has been asked by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) to do an assessment on FASD. This assessment will provide the government with findings that will help Canada know how to prevent FASD and help people affected by FASD.

Over the past few months, the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (CAHS) has been doing an assessment of FASD in Canada by looking at research on FASD and talking to people in the community. CAHS has some early findings about FASD in Canada and would like to hear input on these, like whether the findings are on the right track and would be helpful to people affected by FASD.

The purpose of these online discussions is to hear directly from people living with FASD, their family members, and those who work with them. Hearing about these groups’ needs will help make sure the findings reflect their experiences when CAHS shares this information with government and policy makers. You can help by participating in these online discussions.
