abstract="OBJECTIVES: To present a clinical case report and provide a review of the available literature on fetal alcohol syndrome and the fetal alcohol spectrum disorders and suicidality to highlight important implications for providers. STUDY DESIGN: A case report and literature review. RESULTS: Almost 6% of adolescents evaluated by the fetal alcohol spectrum disorders diagnostic clinic at the Alaska Native Medical Center had been seen for self-harm related consultation. CONCLUSIONS: Persons with the fetal alcohol syndrome and the fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, as a result of their disability, demonstrate characteristics or features that are commonly thought to be risk factors for suicide-such as mental illness, alcohol and other drug abuse, impulsivity, history of trauma or abuse, and employment and relationship/social difficulties. These persons may experience mental health problems, including suicidal ideation and attempts, over the course of their life times.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
