The Prevalence of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders in An American Indian Community
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Your paper is very well written and is an important addition to the literature on FASD surveillance, FASD in the AIAN community, and working with tribal communities. I only have a few comments.
I appreciate that you added lines 224-229 discussing the effects of the screening tier for growth. That information is important for FASD surveillance in general.
Lines 243 is the only part that I strongly suggest changing. I don’t understand the use of the word “partly” here. If used, I think the other part needs to be stated. Otherwise, the sentence may be misinterpreted as blaming the victim. There is also a negative historical legacy from past research in the Native American community that you might mention.
I was left wondering if some children with FAS or FASD might have left the community for foster care/adoption. If you have any information on that please considering adding.
