Factors Affecting Development of Children at Risk1

Phoebe D. Williams and Arthur R. Williams

University of Florida College of Nursing

The study aimed to determine the variables that characterize normal and abnormal or questionable performance of Filipino children (n = 911) with histories of perinatal risk events (e.g. birth weight less than 2,500 grams, age of gestation less than 37 weeks, instrumental delivery) on the Metro-Manila Developmental Screening Test (MMDST), a restandardized Philippine version of the Denver Developmental Screening Test. Children's ages ranged between 2 weeks and 61/2 A years (53% male, 47% female). In addition to MMDST performance, data on 34 structural-situational variables were used in discriminant analysis. Thirteen variables with significant discriminant function coefficients formed five clusters: a child-situational variable cluster, health variable cluster, mother variable cluster, socioeconomic variable cluster, and an age variable cluster.

Key words: children at risk; developmental factors.
