Association of proximal elements of social disadvantage with children's language development at 2 years: an analysis of data from the Children in Focus (CiF) sample from the ALSPAC birth cohort.

摘要: Background An association between social disadvantage and early language development is commonly reported in the literature, but less attention has been paid to way that different aspects of affect both expressive receptive first 2 years life. Aims To examine contributions gender, parental report skills proximal variables (the amount stimulation home, resources available child attitudes/emotional status primary carer support him/her) controlling for distal (family income maternal education) children's at a community ascertained population cohort. Methods & procedures Data from 1314 children Children Focus (CiF) sample Avon Longitudinal Study Parents (ALSPAC) were analyzed. Multivariable regression models identified contribution (what parents do with their children) measures adjusting more (e.g., family material wealth) as well 15 months verbal comprehension, vocabulary grammar (word combinations) age. Outcome results In final multivariable earlier factors, co-varying factors predicted 36% variance vocabulary, 22% 27% word combinations years. Language remained significant predictor outcomes 24 months. Environmental associated scales picture was rather mixed suggesting there may be mechanisms underlying processes. Conclusions implications This study supports argument advantage makes strong The suggest what parents/carers critical even when structural such housing have taken into consideration although this relationship varies language. potential inform targeting public health interventions focusing on pre-literacy one hand home learning environments other and, potentially, two combination.
