Six models showed favourable effects on primary outcome measures (e.g., standardized measures of child development outcomes and reduction in behaviour problems).13 Only studies with outcomes using direct observation, direct assessment, or administrative records were included.

Most notable, perhaps, is that the assumed link between parent behaviour change and improved outcomes for children has not received general support in research conducted to date.

We were able to perform meta - analysis for one long - term outcome: child behaviour measured by the SDQ.

Two of the studies included in the meta - analyses had outcomes with domains at moderate to high risk of bias.45 47 Removing Bridgeman et al from the meta - analysis on child behaviour did not alter the results considerably (d = 0.12; 95 % CI 0.01 to 0.25).

The meta - analyses showed the most pronounced effect sizes for parent — child interaction and maternal sensitivity, whereas the effects on child behaviour and cognitive development were either small or not significant; however, small effect sizes can have meaningful impact on population - level outcomes.60 The non-significant outcomes for internalising and externalising behaviours were also small, but may be clinically relevant for large, at - risk populations.

A confluence of research has identified executive functioning deficits as a common characteristic of individuals with FASD.9 15 — 27 Damage to neurological structures, including the prefrontal regions of the brain, is a significant hypothesised cause for these deficits.28 29 Executive functions are defined as a set of cognitive processes responsible for orchestrating purposeful, goal - directed behaviour.15 30 31 These processes are responsible for the ability to plan, organise, attend, problem solve and inhibit responses.31 It is also suggested that the ability to self - regulate emotional responses and behavioural actions is interrelated with the construct of executive functioning.17 28 32 Deficits in executive functioning and self - regulation can lead to learning and behavioural problems that impact a child's educational outcomes as they struggle to cope with the complex demands of school life.16 20
