Neurodevelopmental Outcomes of Preterm and Term Children

This study will utilize two validated tools for assessing child development and behavior, to investigate the outcomes for children born preterm compared with those born at full term. Two hundred children born or cared for during the neonatal period at Mount Sinai Hospital will be enrolled. Parents will be asked to complete a behavioral assessment questionnaire, and which will assess development in an examination administered by a trained occupational therapist at Mount Sinai Hospital.
