Examined caregiving
environments for 243 premature, low birthweight infants living in
poverty to determine effects on health and development. Found that
children's health and development benefited significantly from six
protective caregiving factors: (1) increased parental responsiveness;
(2) availability of toys and learning materials; (3) variety of
stimulation; (4) parental acceptance; (5) safe play areas; and (6)
less crowded homes. (MDM)
