| Abstract: |
Based on 37 studies with an aggregated total of 210,242 subjects, the authors find that 14% and 20% of parents, respectively, worry that their child is at high or moderate developmental risk. A number of modifiable and non-modifiable characteristics of the child and the parent are associated with parental concerns, specifically those reflecting biological and psychosocial adversity |
