Stanton-Chapman, Tina L.; Chapman, Derek A.; Scott, Keith G.
Journal of Early Intervention, v24 n3 p193-206 Sum 2001
A study involving 244,610 children (ages 6-8) investigated birth risk factors for learning disabilities. Very low birth weight, low 5- minute Apgar score, and low maternal education were associated with highest individual-level risk. Low maternal education, late or no prenatal care, and tobacco use were associated with highest population-level risk. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
