Coll C. 1995. Behavioral Intervention with IUGR Infants [Final report]. Wellesely, MA: Women and Infants' Hospital of Rhode Island, 52 pp.

Annotation: The purpose of this 3-year longitudinal intervention study was to: (1) Examine the effectiveness of a parent-infant based behavioral intervention during the neonatal period to prevent or ameliorate the negative consequences of intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) on maternal-child sensitivity and infant physical growth, caloric intake, cognitive development, and language development; and (2) examine the mediating effects of cultural context and risk status on the effectiveness of intervention with IUGR infants. The planned intervention was expected to affect outcomes directly by improving caloric intake and indirectly by improving mother-infant interactions. [Funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau]

Annotation: This project's primary goal was to reduce the number of low birthweight babies born to women in Davidson County by reducing both preterm births and intrauterine growth retardation.

Volunteers were recruited, trained, and matched with pregnant women in need of care. [Funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau]
