Found that at age 8, effects of attending more than 400 days on scores on the Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children Full and Verbal Scales was 7 to 10 points. Effects were 14 points for heavier LBW infants and 8 points for lighter LBW infants. Effects were higher than traditional intention-to-treat estimates. (Author/KB) |
