Poisson S. n.d.. Maternal and Child Health Cooperative Agreement [Final report]. Rockville, MD: Reginald S. Lourie Center for Infants and Young Children, 52 pp.

Annotation: The goal of this project was to develop and implement comprehensive and family-centered approaches to early identification, assessment, and treatment of infants and young children who are at risk for or suffering from emotional and/or regulatory difficulties. To this end, the Regional Center for Infants and Young Children: (1) Monitored types of families and children referred to and receiving services from an agency specializing in the early detection of emotional disorders or potential risk; (2) developed principles and technology to identify infants and young children/families at risk for psychosocial and developmental difficulties; (3) developed comprehensive, family-centered approaches to assessment and diagnosis; (4) developed prevention-oriented, family-centered approaches to intervention; (5) developed and disseminated technical assistance and training approaches; (6) engaged State and local maternal and child health (MCH) agencies in the project; and (7) accessed multiple financial resources to support its efforts.

Drotar D. 1991. Prediction of Outcome of Early Intervention in Failure to Thrive [Final report]. Cleveland, OH: Case Western Reserve University, 27 pp.

Annotation: This project addressed the need for controlled studies of the psychological and health outcomes of those infants with nonorganic failure to thrive (NOFTT) who have received early intervention, in order to assess early developmental delays and family influences which mediate intervention effects. The family, the environment, and the psychological and physical health outcomes of children originally diagnosed with NOFTT during the first year of life were compared to a sample of physically healthy infants who were matched by child and family characteristics. The findings documented continuing psychological risk to children with early histories of NOFFT, specifically they demonstrated more behavior symptoms, and less adequate abilities to contain impulses, delay gratification, or change their behavior in response to novel situations. The findings suggested that pediatricians should continue to monitor the psychological adjustment of these children, especially those with dysfunctional families. Additional studies are needed to: Determine whether children with early histories of NOFFT who demonstrate problematic behavioral control as preschoolers continue to demonstrate problems as school-age children; assess the efficacy of interventions tailored to the specific etiology (e.g., maternal relationship deficits, family dysfunction) of NOFFT; assess the efficacy of interventions designed to enhance the parenting abilities and reduce the level of behavioral problems in these preschool children.
