1. Five trajectories of prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) were described and compared; greater PAE was associated with reduced birth weight and length, as well as lower neurodevelopmental scores at 6- and 12-month follow-up. 2. Low-to-moderate sustained alcohol exposure had persistent, larger deficits compared with early moderate-to-high exposure with reduction early in gestation, though these differences […]
