Excessive alcohol consumption during pregnancy is common, resulting in a high prevalence of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) among children. FAS causes intellectual and behavioural problems, which create considerable obstacles to a child\u2019s education. The aim of this study is to provide a prevalence estimate of FAS in a rural school and to examine the effects of FAS on learners\u2019 educational outcomes. The study was conducted at a farm school near Clanwilliam in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. A physician diagnosed FAS using a three-stage process. The sample comprises 166 learners from Grades 1 to 4. Educational outcomes include class scores (Afrikaans home language and mathematics), reading ability, and classroom behaviour.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2015","end":"2015","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"South Africa","abbreviation":""}],"geog_coverage":"The study was conducted near Clanwilliam in the Western Cape Province of South Africa","analysis_unit":"Individuals","universe":"The universe of the study was learners in grades 1 to 4.","data_kind":"Observation data","notes":"The following data was collected on each child in the study: age, gender, home language, height, weight, grade, days absent, mathematics and reading ability and classroom behaviour."},"method":{"data_collection":{"coll_mode":["Focus Group [foc]"]}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"contact":[{"name":"DataFirst","affiliation":"University of Cape Town","email":"support@data1st.org","uri":"http:\/\/www.datafirst.uct.ac.za"}],"cit_req":"Lubbe, Melissa.
