Repeatedly it has been documented an increased prevalence of psychological and medical problems in this group of children. Frequent psychological problems are intellectual disturbances, language delays, behavior problems like ADHD and learning difficulties. Usual medical problems are subnormal growth, various illnesses and neuro-developmental problems.\n\nThe high prevalence of psychological and medical risks makes this group of children target for follow-up assessments and early intervention.\n\nThe main aim of the project is to investigate whether sensitizing the parents will reduce the incidence of developmental disturbances in a group of low birth weight infants compared to a control group.\n\nThe study is carried out as a cooperation between the Departments of child- and adolescent psychiatry and pediatrics of the University Hospital in Tromsoe in Northern - Norway. 140 premature infants with birth weight less than 2000 grams are randomly distributed to an intervention and control group. In addition 70 full term infants are selected to another control.\n\nA slightly modified version of The Vermont Intervention Program for Low Birth Weight Infants is applied to the infants in the intervention group, where the parents receive one hour of instruction from a special trained neonatal nurse one hour per day the last week before discharge (infant = 37 weeks G.A.). In addition, the parents receive four home visits during the the three first months after discharge.\n\nPsychological and medical assessments are undertaken at ages: 36 weeks G.A., 6 months, 1, 2 3 5 years corrected for prematurity'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD', 'ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '0 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Birth weight \\< 2000 gram\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Congenital anomalies\n* Non-Norwegian speaking mother\n* Triplets'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT00222456', 'briefTitle': 'Project Early Intervention 2000', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University Hospital of North Norway'}, 'officialTitle': 'Can Early Intervention Prevent Developmental Disturbances/Delays and Improve the Health of Children Born Prematurely', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'SFP 46-04'}, 'secondaryIdInfos': [{'id': 'NSD-codes: MN990199'}, {'id': 'NFR-number: 132506/320'}, {'id': 'NDI 98/2638-2 TFE/- 5'}]}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'interventions': [{'name': 'Sensitizing parents', 'type': 'BEHAVIORAL'}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': 'N-9038', 'city': 'Tromsø', 'country': 'Norway', 'facility': 'Pediatric Dept.
