High Rates of Neurobehavioral Disorder Associated with Prenatal Exposure to Alcohol amoung African Americans Driven by the Plethora of Liquor Stores in the Community by Carl C. Bell, M.D.

Abstract: This short communication highlights the need to screen for and identify the new DSM-5 proposed criteria of Neurobehavioral Disorders associated with Prenatal Alcohol Exposure (ND-PAE). Emerging research has demonstrated that there are populations that are at a higher risk for this disorder owing to their social circumstances, i.e. the plethora of liquor stores in their community. On-point prevalence study found that low-income African-Americans have rates of ND-PAE at 388/1,000. Over the counter nutraceuticals are proposed as a possible protective factor against some of the challenges that ND-PAE poses for the patients that are unfortunate enough to be afflicted from prenatal alcohol exposure.
