DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) are a major public health concern, with prevalence estimates of 1 per 100 live births or more depending on diagnostic methods and criteria used (1). Individuals affected by prenatal alcohol exposure face a range of neurocognitive and behavioral consequences. Social problem solving is an important domain of study due to its wide-ranging impact on adaptive functioning and may be an area of impairment for many individuals with heavy prenatal exposure to alcohol. Thus, a long-term objective of this proposal is to build a program of study on the social problem solving skills of individuals parentally exposed to alcohol across the life span and develop appropriate intervention strategies. A specific aim of this study is to build on previous findings with adolescents and determine if younger children with heavy prenatal alcohol exposure demonstrate impairments in social problem solving. In addition, this proposal aims to assess the relationships between social problem solving and related constructs to improve understanding of children's problem solving abilities. These specific aims will be achieved through standard group comparison methodologies by comparing the performance of children parentally exposed to alcohol with that of matched non-exposed controls. Social problem solving skills will be assessed by presenting videotaped hypothetical vignettes to children and asking them a series of standardized questions. In addition, standardized questionnaires of self-esteem, depression, psychopathology, social skills, and executive functioning will be completed and multiple regression and correlation analyses will be used to examine their relationships with social problem solving.

描述(由申请人提供)：胎儿酒精谱系障碍(FASD)是一个主要的公共卫生问题，根据所用的诊断方法和标准，患病率估计为每100名活产中有1名或更多(1)。受产前酒精暴露影响的个人面临一系列神经、认知和行为后果。社会问题解决是一个重要的研究领域 因为它对适应功能有广泛的影响，对许多产前接触酒精的人来说可能是一个损害领域。因此，这项建议的长期目标是建立一个研究项目，研究父母在一生中接触酒精的个人解决社会问题的技能，并制定适当的干预策略。这项研究的一个具体目的是建立在以前对青少年的研究结果的基础上，并确定产前大量饮酒的年幼儿童是否在解决社会问题方面表现出障碍。此外，该建议旨在评估社会问题解决与相关结构之间的关系，以提高对儿童解决问题能力的理解。这些具体目标将通过标准的群体比较方法来实现，方法是将父母接触酒精的儿童的表现与匹配的未接触酒精的儿童的表现进行比较。社会问题解决技能将通过向孩子们展示录制的假想小插曲并向他们提出一系列标准化问题来评估。此外，还将完成关于自尊、抑郁、精神病理学、社交技能和执行功能的标准化问卷 回归分析和相关分析将被用来检验它们与社会问题解决的关系。
