Abstract
Prenatal alcohol exposure is associated with cognitive and
neurobehavioural dysfunction, but characteristics of temperament
have not been widely documented in exposed children. The objectives
of the study were firstly to assess prenatal alcohol exposure in relation
to infant and childhood temperament. The second objective was
to assess the influence of socio-demographic variables on infant
and childhood temperament and the third was to relate aspects of
temperament measured in infancy to those at 5 years.
