Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are 18–25 year olds in the United States with a diagnosis of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder or confirmed prenatal alcohol exposure who can use English-language video conferencing.

Probably not a fit

People without reliable internet or a data plan for video conferencing, or those who cannot communicate in English, are unlikely to be able to participate or benefit.

What this trial studies

This is a randomized, multi-stage trial that first assigns participants to an immediate or delayed start psychoeducation phase and then re-randomizes them to receive goal-setting in either an individual or group format. The two sequential randomizations create four study arms representing combinations of timing and delivery. Participants complete repeated online assessments over about 10 months to measure goal setting, social support, quality of life, and maintenance of effects. The intervention is delivered through the Thrive program with outcome comparisons across timing and format.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the program could help young adults with FASD set and reach personal goals, strengthen social support, and improve overall quality of life.

How similar studies have gone: Person-centered planning approaches have shown some benefits in other neurodevelopmental and disability contexts, but randomized evidence specifically in young adults with FASD is limited and this design is relatively novel for this population.
