摘要: OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether early developmental intervention (EDI) can positively affect the trajectories of cognitive development among children from low-resource families. METHODS: Longitudinal analyses were conducted data 293 in Brain Research to Ameliorate Impaired Neurodevelopment Home-based Intervention Trial, a randomized controlled trial home-based EDI program, examine Bayley Scales Infant Development—Second Edition Mental Development Index (MDI) scores 12 36 months age young high- and families 3 low- middle-resource countries. RESULTS: A 3-way interaction family resources, group, was statistically significant after controlling for maternal, child, birth characteristics (Wald χ 2 (1) = 9.41, P .002). Among with high both control groups had increases MDI over time ( .002, respectively), 36-month these did not differ significantly .602). However, low group displayed greater improvement, resulting higher than .509) or .882) groups. CONCLUSIONS: during first years life substantially decrease gap between lower versus even
