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，根据所使用的诊断方法和标准，普遍存在的估计为每100个活产或更多（1）。受产前酒精暴露影响的个体面临着一系列神经认知和行为后果。解决社会问题是研究的重要领域 由于其对自适应功能的影响很大，并且对于许多大量产前暴露于酒精的人来说，可能是损害的领域。因此，该提案的一个长期目标是建立一项研究计划，讨论在整个生命周期内养育酒精的个人的社会问题解决技能，并制定适当的干预策略。这项研究的一个具体目的是基于与青少年的先前发现，并确定患有大量产前酒精暴露的年幼儿童是否在解决社会问题解决方面表现出损害。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。这些特定目标将通过标准组比较方法来实现，通过比较育儿对酒精的儿童的表现与匹配的非暴露对照组的表现。通过向儿童介绍录像的假设小插曲，并询问他们一系列标准化问题，可以评估社会问题解决能力。此外，将完成自尊，抑郁，心理病理学，社交技能和执行功能的标准化问卷 回归和相关分析将用于检查他们与社会问题解决的关系。
