Tracy Jirikowic Receives NIH-NIAAA Grant for Study on Early Interventions for Infants with Prenatal Alcohol Exposure and FASD
Tracy Jirikowic has received an NIH-NIAAA grant for a new study focused on early intervention for infants with prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). The study aims to address the critical needs of these infants in their first three years of life, a period when early support can make a significant difference in their development.
Dr. Jirikowic, along with co-investigators Lin-Ya Hsu, Misty Pruner, and Heather Carmichael Olson, will lead the study to explore how the Families Moving Forward (FMF) Bridges intervention model can help these children. The FMF Bridges model builds on a previous program designed for older children, but with adjustments to better meet the needs of infants affected by PAE and FASD. This study will test the feasibility and initial efficacy of the model, with the goal of informing larger-scale trials in the future.
