The value of early home assessment in identifying risk in children who were very low birth weight.
Demographic, medical risk variables and information obtained during early home assessments of very low birth weight infants and their families were compared in their ability to identify subsequent risk in 4-year-old children who were very low birth weight. The home assessment data were equal or better than the demographic risk variables in efficacy and efficiency.
