  • Neurological and neuropsychological effects of low and moderate prenatal alcohol exposure
  • 2018
  • Ingår i: Acta Physiologica. - : Wiley. - 1748-1708 .- 1748-1716. ; 222:1
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Several explanations for the diverse results in research on foetal alcohol spectrum disorders or alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder might be at hand: timing, amount and patterns of alcohol exposure, as well as complex epigenetic responses. The genetic background of the offspring and its interaction with other prenatal and post-natal environmental cues are likely also of importance. In the present report, key findings about the possible effects of low and moderate doses of maternal alcohol intake on the neuropsychological development of the offspring are reviewed and plausible mechanisms discussed. Special focus is put on the serotonergic system within developmental and gene-environment frameworks. The review also suggests guidelines for future studies and also summarizes some of to-be-answered questions of relevance to clinical practice. Contradictory findings and paucity of studies on the effects of exposure to low alcohol levels during foetal life for the offspring's neuropsychological development call for large prospective studies, as well as for studies including neuroimaging and multi-omics analyses to dissect the neurobiological underpinnings of alcohol exposure-related phenotypes and to identify biomarkers. Finally, it remains to be investigated whether any safe threshold of alcohol drinking during pregnancy can be identified.

  • Counter-Interrogation Strategies among Small Cells of Suspects
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: Psychiatry Psychology and Law. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1321-8719 .- 1934-1687. ; 20:5, s. 705-712
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The current study examined the subjective interview strategies of groups of truth-tellers and liars, and compared these strategies with suspects' actual interview performance. Participants (N=126) were evenly divided as truth-tellers or liars, and were further divided into 21 groups of three individuals. Truth-tellers performed a neutral task, while liars performed a mock crime. Participants were then interviewed individually with the goal of convincing the interviewer of their innocence. Three different interview methods were used, spread evenly across veracity condition. Participants disclosed their main subjective strategy in post-interview questionnaires. The most common strategy was be honest for truth-tellers, and be restrictive and be consistent for liars. Truth-tellers' subjective strategies and actual interview performance were rated as more forthcoming than those of liars. Actual interview performance was qualified by interview type. Results are discussed in relation to research on suspect strategies and interview techniques.

  • Small Cells of Suspects: Eliciting Cues to Deception by Strategic Interviewing
  • 2015
  • Ingår i: Journal of Investigative Psychology and Offender Profiling. - : Wiley. - 1544-4759. ; 12:2, s. 127-141
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Investigators often have to deal with small groups of suspects, and this is true both for criminal cases and for suspected terrorist cases. There is, however, very little research examining the effectiveness of different interview techniques when facing cells of suspects. In order to remedy this shortcoming, we examined the extent to which three interviewing techniques elicited cues to deception from small groups of suspects. In one technique, the evidence was disclosed early in the interview (early evidence); in another, the evidence was disclosed late using the Strategic use of evidence technique (SUE-basic); and in the third technique, the evidence was disclosed late and with an increased strength and precision (SUE-incremental). We used a mock-theft scenario with 126 participants randomly allocated to one of six conditions: guilty or innocent suspects interrogated with one of the three disclosure tactics. The SUE-incremental proved to be the most effective technique, resulting in significant differences between guilty and innocent suspects for all three cues examined: statement-evidence inconsistency, within-statement inconsistency, and within-group inconsistency. Based on the findings, we argue that the SUE technique is effective also for eliciting cues to deception when used for small groups of suspects. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

  • Ethical aspects of diagnosis and interventions for children with fetal alcohol Spectrum disorder (FASD) and their families
  • 2018
  • Ingår i: BMC Medical Ethics. - : BIOMED CENTRAL LTD. - 1472-6939. ; 19
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) is an umbrella term covering several conditions for which alcohol consumption during pregnancy is taken to play a causal role. The benefit of individuals being identified with a condition within FASD remains controversial. The objective of the present study was to identify ethical aspects and consequences of diagnostics, interventions, and family support in relation to FASD.Methods: Ethical aspects relating to diagnostics, interventions, and family support regarding FASD were compiled and discussed, drawing on a series of discussions with experts in the field, published literature, and medical ethicists.Results: Several advantages and disadvantages in regards of obtaining a diagnosis or description of the condition were identified. For instance, it provides an explanation and potential preparedness for not yet encountered difficulties, which may play an essential role in acquiring much needed help and support from health care, school, and the socia ! services. There are no interventions specifically evaluated for FASD conditions, but training programs and family support for conditions with symptoms overlapping with FASD, e.g. ADHD, autism, and intellectual disability, are likely to be relevant. Stigmatization, blame, and guilt are potential downsides. There might also be unfortunate prioritization if individuals with equal needs are treated differently depending on whether or not they meet the criteria for a specific condition. Conclusions: The value for the concerned individuals of obtaining a FASD-related description of their condition - for instance, in terms of wellbeing - is not established. Nor is it established that allocating resources based, on whether individuals fulfil FASD-related criteria is justified, compared to allocations directed to the most prominent specific needs.

  • Financial difficulties among youth prenatally exposed to substances: a longitudinal register-based cohort study
  • 2024
  • Ingår i: Drugs-Education Prevention and Policy. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0968-7637 .- 1465-3370. ; 31:3
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • AimThe receipt of long-term financial social assistance (FSA) as an indicator of financial difficulties among Finnish youth with prenatal substance exposure (PSE) was investigated in comparison with unexposed youth.MethodsData from national health and social welfare registers were collected for 18-24-year-old exposed (n = 355) and unexposed (n = 1011) youth. The influence of youth and maternal characteristics and out-of-home care (OHC) on the association between PSE and youth's long-term FSA receipt was studied by generalized linear models and mediation analyses.ResultsExposed youth had an increased likelihood of long-term FSA receipt (OR 4.89, 95% CI 3.76, 6.37) but the difference with unexposed was attenuated following adjustments for youth and maternal characteristics and OHC (AOR 1.33, 95% CI 0.89, 1.98). Maternal long-term FSA receipt (0.48, 95% CI 0.35, 0.64) and OHC (0.63, 95% CI 0.47, 0.83) mediated a large proportion of the association between PSE and youth's long-term FSA receipt. Youth's mental or behavioral disorders partly mediated the association (0.21, 95% CI 0.14, 0.30), but the mediating effect of lack of secondary education was minor (0.03, 95% CI 0.01, 0.07).ConclusionReceipt of long-term FSA among youth with PSE likely reflects maternal substance abuse linked with maternal financial situation and care instability in childhood.

  • A retrospective register study on psychosocial functioning in adults with fetal alcohol syndrome.
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: First European Conference on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, Kerkrade, the Netherlands.
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Few studies focus on psychosocial functioning in adults with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). A previous follow-up study of Swedish children with FAS showed that they had severe problems with social relationships and education, problems that remained throughout childhood. The aim of this register study is to further investigate the past and present social and psychosocial demographics of these children who now are adults (n = 79, mean age 29 [18-49 years], 37 % women and 63 % men). A swedish longitudinal integrated database for health insurance and labour market studies (LISA by Swedish acronym) is used for this purpose. Examples of data that will be utilized from the database LISA are employment, income (e.g. parental leave, unemployment, labour market activity, rehabilitation, early retirement, social assistance), place of residence (county, municipality, parish and property) and highest level of education. Obtained data will be compared to a gender and age matched comparison group, also retreived from the database LISA. Preliminary results show that almost 30 % of the adults with FAS had been subjected to the Swedish enforcement authority and the Social services. Moreover, about 70 % of the individuals had been regularly in contact with the Swedish public employment services. The results indicate that FAS have a major impact on the adult daily life, especially on social and psychosocial demographics.

  • Childhood placement in out-of-home care in relation to psychosocial outcomes in adults with fetal alcohol syndrome.
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: European journal of public health. - : Oxford University Press (OUP). - 1464-360X .- 1101-1262. ; 26:5, s. 856-861
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Even in adulthood, the disabilities associated with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) may have a major impact on life, but different environmental circumstances during childhood may also be influential. This study aimed to investigate placements in out-of-home care, and number of early separations from caregivers, related to psychosocial outcomes in adults with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). Additional analyses were then done on a subgroup's cognitive development and mental health.

  • Childhood Placement in Out-of-Home Care in Relation to Psychosocial Outcomes in Adults with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: European Conference on FASD 2016, 12-15 September ,Royal Holloway, University of London.
  • Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Background Even in adulthood the disabilities associated with FASD may have a major impact on life, but different environmental circumstances during childhood may also be influential. This study aimed to investigate placements in out-of-home care, and number of early separations from caregivers, related to psychosocial outcomes in adults with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). Additional analyses were then done on a subgroup’s cognitive development and mental health. Methods Data on education and living with biological parents or in out-of-home care were obtained from childhood medical records on 51 adults (43% women), mean age 32, all diagnosed with FAS. Adult psychosocial outcomes (e.g., highest completed education, economic status, care due to alcohol or illicit drug abuse, mental health, and conviction for crime) were obtained from national registers. Results No significant within-group differences related to the adult psychosocial outcomes were found. Psychiatric disorders, psychotropic drug prescriptions, and crime convictions were equally common, regardless of whether placement in care was early or late, or whether the participants had experienced few or many early separations. Conclusion We suggest that the findings illustrate the heterogeneity among individuals with FASD. Welfare authorities’ decisions concerning special education and placement in out-of-home care should be tailored to each individual. Interventions from society are still needed for individuals with FAS over 22 years old.

  • Children who face development risks due to maternal addiction during pregnancy require extra medical and psychosocial resources
  • 2019
  • Ingår i: Acta Paediatrica. - : Wiley. - 0803-5253 .- 1651-2227. ; 108:1, s. 101-105
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Aim This study examined medical and psychosocial risk factors in children born to women with addiction problems during pregnancy and the children's needs for extra medical and psychosocial resources. Methods Swedish midwives routinely screen pregnant women for drugs and alcohol and refer women with addictions to the Maternity and Child Healthcare Resource Team. We investigated the medical records of 127 children (51% girls) whose mothers were referred to the Resource Team from 2009 to 2015. Additional data were obtained from local child healthcare services (CHS), which provide routine paediatric care. Results More than three-quarters (76%) of the children had prenatal exposure to alcohol and drugs, and 17% were born with withdrawal symptoms. The mothers had a high rate of psychiatric diagnoses (38%) and were more likely to smoke after delivery and less likely to breastfeed than the general population. However, adherence to the CHS programme was generally high. Additional visits to the nurse, referrals to specialists, collaboration meetings and reports of concerns to social services decreased when the children began attending ordinary CHS centres. Conclusion Children born to women with addictions during pregnancy faced a high risk of developmental problems and should be offered additional CHS resources to minimise negative long-term consequences.

  • Cognitive and executive functions, social cognition and sense of coherence in adults with fetal alcohol syndrome.
  • 2015
  • Ingår i: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0803-9488 .- 1502-4725. ; 69:6, s. 472-478
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: Primary disabilities in children with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) are the results of alcohol’s teratogen effect on the fetal brain. Reduced cognitive and executive functions and social cognition are examples of such disabilities. Little is known about primary disabilities in adults with FAS as well as their sense of coherence (SoC). There is thus a need for knowledge about FAS in adulthood. Aims: To investigate cognitive and executive functions, social cognition and SoC in adults with FAS. Methods: Twenty adults with FAS (mean age: 30 years) were compared with 20 individuals matched on gender and age. Berg’s Card-sorting Test-64, the Tower of Hanoi, Raven’s Coloured Progressive Matrices, Digit Span, Faux Pas and the Swedish version of Antonovsky’s Sense of Coherence Scale (SoC-29) were used. Results: The FAS group had a weak SoC and displayed deficits in the neuropsychological tests sensitive to cognitive and executive functions and social cognition. The FAS group’s median SoC score was 112, lower than the comparison group’s median of 133 (P0.001). The FAS group had median scores of 29.0 on Raven’s Matrices. The median for Digit Span was 5 forwards and 3 backwards, lower than in the comparison group (P0.001). Conclusions: Reduced cognitive and executive functions and impaired social cognition are assumed to have a major impact on life for adults with FAS. We suggest that the findings showing that adults with FAS had a weak SoC, with particularly low scores on the manageability scale, reflect their experiences of living with those primary disabilities. Clinical implications: This study may enhance healthcare for individuals prenatally exposed to alcohol. In general, it contributes with knowledge about this group of individuals who need to be more visible in healthcare, and particularly, it demonstrates some of the neuropsychological disabilities they might have.

  • Fetal Alcohol Syndrome in Adulthood – A Thirty Years Follow-Up Study on Psychosocial Outcomes Related to Environmental Conditions in Childhood
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: The 7th National Biennial Conference on Adolescents and Adults with FASD - Research on Adolescents and Adults: If Not Now, When? April 6-9 2016, Vancouver, Canada.
  • Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Presentation summary: Background: Psychosocial disabilities associated with prenatal alcohol exposure may have a major impact on life in adulthood. Some of the adult disabilities are directly caused by prenatal alcohol exposure, but environmental conditions during childhood (e.g., living with biological parents or in out-of-home care and educational opportunities) might ameliorate or deterioate them. In the 1980s - and '90s in Sweden, the research team Aronson, Olegård and Strömland studied physical and psychological development in children with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS: e.g., Aronson et al., 1985, 1997; Aronson & Hagberg, 1993, 1998; Aronson & Olegård, 1986; Olegård et al., 1979; Strömland 1984, 1987; Strömland & Hellström, 1996). The children who were studied at that time period are today adults and some of them also participated in the studies presented here. Methods: The participants were 79 individuals (37% women), mean age 32 years (18-47 years), all diagnosed with FAS at the Children’s Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden. Data on adult psychosocial outcome on education, economic status, need for care due to alcohol or illicit drug abuse, mental health, and crime conviction, were obtained from national registers held by Swedish authorities. The adult outcomes were related to childhood environmental conditions (e.g., placement in out-of-home care, age for placement and number of separations from caregivers before three years of age). Some of the background data from registers were verified with data from childhood medical records. Results: As children a majority, 81% of the individuals with FAS were placed in out-of-home-care, most commonly before the age of three. More than half of those who had been placed in out-of-home care had experienced more than one separation from their caregivers before three years of age. A fourth of the FAS-group had received special education. In adulthood half of the group was employed and self-supporting, a third were dependent on social welfare, and a third had received a disability pension. Moreover, 33% of the adults with FAS had been treated for mental health problems, and 57% were prescribed some type of psychotropic drug. Generally the crime conviction rate was low. However, conviction of severe crime was more common among those who had been placed in out-of-home care after the age of three than before that age. No other significant differences in the outcomes were found between those who had been placed in out-of-home care before or after three years of age. Analyses on psychosocial outcomes in adulthood related to number of early separations from caregivers showed no significant differences. Discussion: Conviction of severe crime in adulthood was found to be more common among individuals who had been placed in out-of-home care after the age of three. No other significant differences in the adult psychosocial outcomes were found. In line with previous research (Astley, 2010; Fagerlund, 2013; Streissguth et al., 2004; Victor et al., 2008; Vinnerljung & Sallnäs, 2008), our results on adults with FAS indicate that growing up in out-of-home care or in biological homes may have both advantages and disadvantages. Biological as well as out-of-home care might provide high or low quality environments during childhood for individuals prenatally exposed to alcohol. What enables a positive psychosocial outcome in adulthood may not be whether an individual with FAS grow up in the biological home or in out-of-home care. Instead, what may be of importance during childhood could be socio-economic factors, the quality of the environmental conditions and relationships to significant others. This applies both to biological homes as well as out-of-home care. Conclusions: Children with FAS have quite diverse psychosocial situation in adulthood, but in general it is considerably worse compared to the general population in the same age. During childhood interventions such as special education and growing up in out-of-home care may influence an individual's life. What makes a high quality growing environment for individuals with FAS may vary between individuals. Social welfare authorities’ decisions on interventions that influence the lives of individuals with FAS need to be tailored to each individual.

  • Fetal Alcohol syndrome in adulthood - Psychological, psychosocial, and neuropsychological aspects of life in individuals who were prenatally exposed to alcohol
  • 2016
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Alcohol’s teratogenic effect on the developing fetal brain is devastating, resulting in, for instance, structural abnormalities as well as behavioral and neuropsychological impairments in the child. The umbrella term Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) is used to describe the range of effects, from neuropsychological dysfunctions to complete Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). The disabilities associated with FASD have a major impact on life for children, and perhaps even in adulthood. However, only a few studies have addressed the long-term outcome in adults prenatally exposed to alcohol, especially with a diagnosis of FAS, from a psychological perspective. The main aim of this thesis was to investigate the psychological, psychosocial and neuropsychological consequences of FAS in adulthood. Participants in the studies in this thesis consisted of 79 adults (mean age: 32 years) with an FAS diagnosis. In Study I, data on the adults with FAS and a gender- and age-matched comparison group were obtained from national registers. The results showed that 25 % of the FAS group had attended special education. The adults with FAS were less often employed (49.2 % vs. 85.3 %) but had a low rate of criminal offenses, comparable to that of the comparison group (ns). Those in the FAS group had higher hospital admission rates due to psychiatric disorders, and were more often prescribed psychotropic drugs (57 % vs. 26.5 %). In Study II, data from childhood medical records on environmental conditions were related to adult psychosocial outcomes in adulthood. No significant differences related to childhood conditions in the adult outcomes were found. The results were suggested to show that, due to the heterogeneity in the FAS group, interventions should be functional-need-oriented to each individual. Data in Studies III and IV were obtained through face-to-face data collection. Participants were 20 adults with FAS (mean age: 30 years) and a comparison group consisting of healthy individuals matched on gender and age. The results in Study III showed that the FAS group displayed deficits in the neuropsychological tests sensitive to cognitive and executive functions and social cognition. The results in Study IV, using the Addiction Severity Index interview, showed that the adults with FAS had problems with depression and suicidal ideation, which were common among them; but problems with substance use were not more common in the FAS group. The crime conviction rate was low, but many in the FAS group had been victims of crime. Based on the results in the empirical studies in this thesis, it was concluded that: 1) The psychological consequences were depression and anxiety, brought on by negative experiences throughout life; 2) The psychosocial consequences of importance were that criminality was uncommon among the adults with FAS who were studied. This could be explained by the fact that they had access to social, educational and financial support during childhood; and 3) The neuropsychological consequences entailed that impaired cognitive functions may be found in individuals with FAS even in adulthood. The conclusions indicate that FAS is associated with a complex chain of causes and consequences that interrelate from early childhood to adulthood. To ameliorate adverse adult outcomes, children with FAS need efficient interventions from welfare authorities. FASD is caused by maternal consumption of alcohol, and is therefore completely preventable.

  • Follow-up study on neuropsychological and psychosocial functioning in adults with fetal alcohol syndrome
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: Konferenspublikation Third conference on EUFASD Rome 20-22 oct 2014.
  • Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is the adverse outcome caused by a mothers’ alcohol consumption during pregnancy. FAS could be divided in primary disabilities – the congenital neuropsychological disabilities, and secondary disabilities – possible adverse outcome when the individual are interacting with the environment. Aim. Examine the effects of prenatal alcohol exposure on neuropsychological (primary disabilities) and psychosocial functioning (secondary disabilities) in adults with FAS. Methods. Study group was 79 adults, mean age 32 years (between 18 and 47) with a verified FAS-diagnosis. Data was obtained by semi-structured face-to-face interviews covering: health, illicit drug/alcohol use, family and psychiatry. Neuropsychological tests on cognitive and executive functions were performed. Additionally, data was obatained by record-linkages between registers from Swedish authorities on education, employment, dependency on public welfare and trouble with the law. Results. As children, 80% of the individuals with FAS were placed in out-of-home-care, as adults 71% lived as singles, 65% dependent on public welfare, 33% had been treated for mental health problems, 47% were prescribed medications for mental health problems. Performance on neuropsychological were poor, but they hadn’t experienced trouble with the law or drug problems. Conclusion. Primary disabilities remain and as symptoms of the secondary disabilities, many of the adults with FAS have mental health problems and do not live an independent adult life. Protective factors in their lives have been early FAS-diagnosis, social and financial support that protected them from troubles with the law and drug problems.

    • Om en gravid kvinna dricker alkohol kan det påverka fostrets utveckling och leda till att barnet föds med nedsatta fysiska, kognitiva och beteendemässiga funktioner. I pedagogisk verksamhet kan de nedsatta funktionerna hos barnet bli synliga. Det här kunskapsunderlaget vänder sig till pedagoger, men det kan även användas av andra, som möter barn och elever med medfödda skador av alkohol. Det kan till exempel användas av personal i hem för vård eller boende (HVB-hem), i familjehem och av andra som är intresserade av ämnet. Informationen kan underlätta mötet med barn och elever med medfödda skador av alkohol, som alla är olika sinsemellan. Gemensamt har de att de i den pedagogiska verksamheten behöver bli bemötta med förståelse för sina förutsättningar.

    • Primary disabilities in children prenatally exposed to alcohol have a major impact on their daily life. It is suggested that these issues persist into adulthood, but few studies have addressed the outcome in adults with prenatal exposure, especially those with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). The aim of this follow-up study was to investigate outcome variables, such as education, employment, health, and criminal acts, in 79 adults diagnosed with FAS.

  • Ingår i: Nordic Studies on Alcohol and Drugs. - : SAGE Publications. - 1455-0725 .- 1458-6126. ; 34:3, s. 255-266
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Aims: To investigate self-reported physical and psychiatric problems, use of alcohol and illicit drugs, as well as conviction, and being a victim, of crime in adults with foetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). Methods: Interviews with 20 adults, aged 30 +/- 8 years with FAS diagnosis (65% female) and an age-and-gender-matched comparison group. Measures used were the Addiction Severity Index interview, the Beck Depression Inventory Scale and the Beck Anxiety Inventory Scale. Results and conclusions: Adults with FAS need healthcare for depression and suicidal ideation, which occurred commonly, but problems with use of alcohol and illicit drugs were not more common in the FAS group. Although self-reported physical health problems were not more common in the FAS group, their number of days with sickness leave indicated that they are often in too poor a physical condition to work. A majority of the FAS group had been victims of crime, which makes this an important topic for further research. The groups did not differ in crime conviction rates. Everyone in the study group had been diagnosed with FAS; a diagnosis may give access to social welfare interventions. More individuals within the FAS disorders spectrum need to be identified to be given access to efficient interventions.
