Data Collection Event
5 Year Follow Up
At 5 years of age, participants were assessed by a physician and a psychologist. A telephone interview with parents was used to collect details of parental education level. Parents also completed the Parental Sensitivity Assessment Scale (PSAS) questionnaire (Hoff et al, 2004). To assess behavioral and social development parents completed the Conners Abbreviated Symptom Questionnaire for Parents and supplementary questions on social skills, externalising and internalising behavior problems. Data were also collected on hospital admissions, school absence, health, and special educational needs support.
The clinical examination assessed growth, vision problems, hearing problems, and motor problems including cerebral palsy. Motor skills were assessed using the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (Movement ABC). Eight subtests of the Weschler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence Revised Version (WPPSI-R) were administered - Vocabulary, Information, Arithmetic, Similarities, Block Design, Picture Completion, Object Assembly and Animal House. The results were used to calculate full scale IQ scores.
