Fink, Leslie – Children Today, 1986
Although it once seemed simple to say that a single event such as birth trauma or asphyxia caused brain disorders like cerebral palsy, mental retardation, and epilepsy, a recent study showed that it is nearly impossible to pinpoint a single cause and its effects. Recommendations for further research are made. (BB)

Howze, Dorothy C. – Urban League Review, 1986

Royer, Terry D.; Barth, Richard P. – Social Work, 1984
Presents documentation of behavioral contributions to fetal and infant damage, disease, and death.

A review of the literature is also included. (Author/JAC)
