Cognitive, behavioural and educational outcomes of fetal antiepileptic drug exposure

这项研究属于促进和保持良好健康的国家研究重点，特别是优先目标——健康的生命开端。这项研究将为我们了解胎儿接触AED对每年出生的大量受影响的澳大利亚儿童的认知和行为发展的影响提供至关重要的信息。它将加强国家制定预防、监测和补救幼儿期不良后果战略的能力，从而支持政府的幼儿期国家议程倡议。因此，教育援助可以针对那些可能遇到困难的儿童。

The study falls within the National Research Priority of Promoting and Maintaining Good Health, in particular the Priority Goal - A Healthy Start to Life. The research will yield information crucial to our understanding of the effects of fetal AED exposure on cognitive and behavioural development in the significant number of affected Australian children born each year. It will enhance the nation's ability to develop strategies for prevention, surveillance and remediation of adverse outcomes in early childhood, thus supporting the Government's National Agenda for Early Childhood initiative. As a consequence educational assistance can be targeted for those children likely to experience difficulties.
