| Abstract: | The school based behavioural adjustment at 7-8 years of a cohort of 243 prematurely born very low birthweight (<1501g) children and their normal birthweight controls is reported. The findings indicate that the children born preterm (both male and female) were rated by their teachers as expressing more behaviour problems than their controls, and were less well adjusted to the school environment. The deficits noted in the preterms applied across the social classes. |
