title: The value of early home assessment in identifying risk in children who were very low birth weight.
abstract: 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.
