Abstract

Authors' conclusions: there is weak evidence due to the limited sample of the studies included for long-term interventions on the management of the fetal alcohol syndrome. However there is promising research under way, that is identified in the article.

Reviewers' commentary: there is no evidence as to the effectiveness of long term interventions on fetal alcohol syndrome.
