1University of California San Francisco (UCSF), Department of Pediatrics, Division of Developmental Medicine, UCSF Box 3132, 675 18th Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94143, USA.
Abstract:
Group well-child care (GWCC) may promote interactive caregiving and prevent developmental delay.
Method:
This cross-sectional study explored the association between GWCC attendance and odds for suspected developmental delay among low-income Asian immigrants as measured by the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ)-III at age 18 months.
Results:
Odds for suspected developmental delay (OR=0.81, 95 % CI 0.40-1.62) were not significantly lower for GWCC infants. However, odds for developmental risk were significantly lower for GWCC infants in the ASQ's problem-solving domain (OR= 0.40, 95 % CI 0.17-0.92).
Conclusion:
Among low-income Asian immigrants, GWCC participation may be associated with lower odds for cognitive developmental delay.
