To reauthorize certain programs that provide for opioid use disorder prevention, treatment, and recovery, and for other purposes, section 104, Sec. 104.
Written by .
“the term `FASD-informed', with respect to support or an intervention program, means that such support or intervention program uses culturally and linguistically informed evidence-based or practice-based interventions and appropriate resources to support an improved quality of life for an individual with FASD and the family of such individual.”
New section 399H(c) of the Public Health Service Act defines the term FASD-informed for purposes of that section.
What the document actually says
“the term `FASD-informed', with respect to support or an intervention program, means that such support or intervention program uses culturally and linguistically informed evidence-based or practice-based interventions and appropriate resources to support an improved quality of life for an individual with FASD and the family of such individual.”
That sentence, in plain words
The law says what one term means. A program is FASD-informed if it uses methods shown to work. It must also fit the way people live and speak.
What this is about

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
