Children (N = 344) between the ages of 8-16 years (M = 12.28, SD = 2.52) were recruited for an ongoing multisite study conducted by the Collaborative Initiative on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (CIFASD). The clinical projects included in the CIFASD have been described previously (Mattson et al., 2010). Recruitment methods differed by site location. While the CIFASD has ongoing international recruitment sites, only data collected in United States testing centers were considered in this study to minimize the potential impact of cultural or language bias on neuropsychological tests. Data were analyzed across several sites: Atlanta, Los Angeles, Northern Plains States (seven different communities throughout North Dakota, South Dakota, and Montana), Albuquerque, and San Diego.
