Summary

This study looked at how being exposed to alcohol before birth might affect adults' ability to read emotions and make decisions. Researchers planned to compare adults with prenatal alcohol exposure to those without, using computer tasks. The study was terminated early and only enrolled 14 people, so results are very limited.
