Fish M. 2007. Infancy to middle childhood in rural Appalachia: [Final report]. Huntington, WV: Department of Family and Community Health, Marshall University School of Medicine, 14 pp.

Annotation: This final report focuses on the Infancy to Middle Childhood in Rural Appalachia project during the period January 1, 2003, through December 31, 2006. The purpose of this project was to continue investigation, into middle childhood, of an under-studied but high-risk group: low-socioeconomic-status rural Appalachian children. This research built on two earlier projects that studied the socioemotional and cognitive development of low-income rural Appalachian children in infancy and during the period of preschool through kindergarten. The report is divided into the following sections: (1) introduction, (2) review of the literature, (3) study design and methods, (4) presentation of findings, (5) dissemination of findings, and (6) list of products. References are included. [Funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau]
