“…15,16 Seven studies implemented an additional intervention component during birth hospitalization, before the discharge home, focusing on parenting or infant development. In 2 programs, the Infant Health and Development Program (IHDP) [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] and the Mother Infant Communication Project, 25,26 the intervention also included attendance at center-based groups.…”

“…Results of the IHDP demonstrated a small, statistically significant increase in maternally reported minor illnesses at 3 years of age, but only for infants weighing ,1500 g, and no effect on serious health conditions. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] Neither Casiro et al nor Brooten and colleagues demonstrated significant intervention effects on rates of hospitalization or acute care visits. 15,16,27 Nutrition and Growth…”

[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] Three studies described a significant interaction effect between birth weight and the home-visiting intervention, although the direction of this influence was not consistent between studies. Teti et al 29 observed a significant difference between intervention and control groups when assessed at 3 to 4 months of age, but only among infants weighing ,1000 g. Barrera et al 41,42 also described significant differences in developmental outcomes at 4.5 years for infants weighing ,1500 g but not for heavier infants.…”

METHODS: Searches of Medline, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Controlled Trial Register, PsycINFO, and Embase were conducted. Criteria for inclusion were (1) cohort or controlled trial designs; (2) homebased, preventive services for infants at medical or social risk; and (3) outcomes reported for infants born preterm or low birth weight (,2500 g). Data from eligible reports were abstracted by 2 reviewers. Random effects meta-analysis was used to synthesize data for developmental and parent interaction measures. RESULTS:Seventeen studies (15 controlled trials, 2 cohort studies) were reviewed. Five outcome domains were identified: infant development, parent-infant interaction, morbidity, abuse/neglect, and growth/ nutrition. Six studies (n = 336) demonstrated a pooled standardized mean difference of 0.79 (95% confidence interval 0.57 to 1.02) in Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment Inventory scores at 1 year in the home-visited groups versus control. Evidence for other outcomes was limited. Methodological limitations were common.

Human behavior regarding medicine seems strange; assumptions and models that seem workable in other areas seem less so in medicine. Perhaps we need to rethink the basics. Toward this end, I have collected many puzzling stylized facts about behavior regarding medicine, and have sought a small number of simple assumptions which might together account for as many puzzles as possible.The puzzles I consider include a willingness to provide more medical than other assistance to associates, a desire to be seen as so providing, support for nation, firm, or family provided medical care, placebo benefits of medicine, a small average health value of additional medical spending relative to other health influences, more interest in public that private signals of medical quality, medical spending as an individual necessity but national luxury, a strong stress-mediated health status correlation, and support for regulating health behaviors of the low status. These phenomena seem widespread across time and cultures. I can explain these puzzles moderately well by assuming that humans evolved deep medical habits long ago in an environment where people gained higher status by having more allies, honestly cared about those who remained allies, were unsure who would remain allies, wanted to seem reliable allies, inferred such reliability in part based on who helped who with health crises, tended to suffer more crises requiring non-health investments when having fewer allies, and invested more in cementing allies in good times in order to rely more on them in hard times.These ancient habits would induce modern humans to treat medical care as a way to show that you care. Medical care provided by our allies would reassure us of their concern, and allies would want you and other allies to see that they had pay enough to distinguish themselves from posers who didnt care as much as they. Private information about medical quality is mostly irrelevant to this signaling process.If people with fewer allies are less likely to remain our allies, and if we care about them mainly assuming they remain our allies, then we want them to invest more in health than they would choose for themselves. This tempts us to regulate their health behaviors. This analysis suggests that the future will continue to see robust desires for health behavior regulation and for communal medical care and spending increases as a fraction of income, all regardless of the health effects of these choices.2

“…Within the intervention group, cognitive and academic achievement in children with higher birth weight was maintained at 8 years of age. [18][19][20][21][22] School outcomes for children in the intervention group were consistently better than for children who did not receive intervention. Several aspects of family development were also enhanced by the Infant Health and Development Program.…”

There is growing evidence that early intervention services have a positive influence on the developmental outcome of children with established disabilities as well as those who are considered to be "at risk" of disabilities. Various federal and state laws now mandate the establishment of community-based, coordinated, multidisciplinary, family-centered programs that are accessible to children and families. The medical home, in close collaboration with the family and the early intervention team, can play a critical role in ensuring that at-risk children receive appropriate clinical and developmental early intervention services. The purpose of this statement is to assist the pediatric health care professional in assuming a proactive role with the interdisciplinary team that provides early intervention services.
