The article summarizes FrameWorks research into expert and public views of FASD in Manitoba, Canada. It also makes recommendations that advocates can put to immediate use to communicate more effectively about the disorder. The peer-reviewed article was published in Studies in Media and Communication and is authored by FrameWorks CEO Nat Kendall-Taylor and Assistant Director of Research Marissa Fond.
