title: Behaviour problems and developmental status of 3-month-old infants in relation to organic and psychosocial risks.
abstract: In a prospective longitudinal study starting at birth 384 infants and their families were investigated. The subjects were distributed across the nine cells of a two-factorial design (3 x 3), factor 1 representing the degree of organic, factor 2 the degree of psychosocial risk. At age 3 months there was a significant influence of organic risk factors on all developmental parameters. Psychosocial risks were only relevant for cognitive development and behaviour problems. Organic high-risk children who adapted quickly after birth showed an especially good development status.
