Beliefs regarding development and early intervention among low-income African American and Hispanic mothers.
This study sought to understand the role of health beliefs in shaping maternal decisions regarding help-seeking for children with developmental delay (DD) and explore differences between African American and Hispanic mothers. Five major themes emerged describing the role of maternal health beliefs in shaping key stages of the help-seeking pathway for children with DD. Differences between African American and Hispanic mothers are also described.

Latent class analysis of neurodevelopmental deficit after exposure to anesthesia in early childhood.
Although some studies have reported an association between early exposure to anesthesia and surgery and long-term neurodevelopmental deficit, the clinical phenotype of children exposed to anesthesia is still unknown. This study’s results suggest that in evaluating children exposed to surgery and anesthesia at an early age, the phenotype of interest may be children with deficits primarily in language and cognition, and not children with broad neurodevelopmental delay or primarily behavioral deficits.
