The
Research Society on AlcoholismThe
RSA serves as a meeting ground for scientists in the broad areas of alcoholism
and alcohol-related problems. The Society promotes research and the acquisition
and dissemination of scientific knowledge.
The Fetal Alcohol
Spectrum Disorders Study Group (FASDSG)The FASDSG has a membership of
approximately 150 clinicians and researchers. The binding interests of our
members are the desire to fully understand the etiology of fetal alcohol
syndrome (FAS), describe the characteristics of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders
at multiple levels, and revise ways to improve the lives of
children, adolescents, and adults with FAS and other alcohol-related
disabilities.
