What this Trial Is About
The purpose of the present study is the assessment of the mental health and cognitive development of children 6-11 years after premature or term birth. Impairments in children's' mental health are assessed focusing different disorders or problems (ADHD, Autism traits, Affective disorders, oppositional-aggressive behavior) and using both questionnaires and a clinical interview. Risk and protective factors will be analyzed, e.g., threat and/or actual premature birth compared to term birth, parents' mental health, positive coping, personality traits and social support in the peripartum period and afterwards, as well as medical parameters. The potential interaction of premature birth, medical complications, parental distress and children's mental health will be taken into consideration.
