Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) in New Zealand: knowledge, attitudes and practices

We are conducting research to understand the knowledge, attitudes, and awareness of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) among New Zealand judges and lawyers.

What's involved?

The goal of this study is to identify gaps in knowledge and training needs to inform guidelines and national policy for addressing FASD, particularly in the justice setting.

You are required to complete a short (5-10 min) online survey. If you want to take part now, but change your mind later, you can stop any time up until the point that the survey is complete. On completion of the survey, your answers will be used as data for this project.

Eligibility criteria

All judicial staff can take part if they are:

  • Are aged 18 years or older.
  • Able to speak and read english.
  • Are frontline judges, lawyers, staff (i.e. have contact with incarcerated adults).
