The NICU Network Neurobehavioral Scale: a comprehensive instrument to assess substance-exposed and high-risk infants.

چکیده
Work on this instrument grew out of research on newborn assessment and training for the Perinatal-20 project, a set of 20 National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)-sponsored intervention studies of cocaineand other substance-abusing mothers, and the specific requirements of research on the Maternal Lifestyles Study, a National Institute of Child Health and Human Development-sponsored multisite study of the development of cocaine-exposed infants from four NICUs. Investigators on these projects, as well as on several other projects related to prenatal cocaine exposure on which the authors are working, were confronted with a similar set of assessment problems that were unresolved by extant biobehavioral instruments.
