Environmental Influences on Neurodevelopmental Outcome in Infants Born Very Preterm
Description: PROJECT NARRATIVE Upwards of one-third of very preterm infants suffer long-term neurodevelopmental deficits. The prevalence rate of Autism Spectrum Disorders is approximately 5 times higher in these infants than in the general population. This is a significant public health problem that we plan to address by identifying which individual infants will most likely be impaired in time to develop interventions to prevent or mitigate these deficits.
