Study Overview
Brief Summary
Study measures will evaluate cognitive, academic, and behavioral outcomes for the children, school services received, and caregiver stress and depression. The main study outcome measures include cognitive status, school functioning, and behavior. Long-term outcomes will be studied in attempt to verify the 33 and 60 month significant differences found in school participation and behavior between the intervention and control groups.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Woodcock-Johnson Cognitive Ability Test, 3rd Edition (WJR-III, Cog)
Time Frame: 8 years post original enrollment in study
The WJR-III, Cog measures intelligence and cognition in children and offers a recent standardization sample and updated item content. The WJR-III, Cog was selected because it includes verbal, nonverbal, and language scales and its recent standardization sample includes an appropriate proportion of children from ethnic minority, limited parent education, and Northeastern U.S. regional families.The mean test score is 100, with a standard deviation of 15. The test yields scores from 55 (worst score) to 145 (best score).
