Abstract

In a study of 66 in-utero drug exposed (IUDE) infants, we evaluated infant cognitive status with the Mental Scale of the Bayley Scales of Infant Development (Second Edition), caregiver-infant interaction using the Nursing Child Assessment Feeding Scale (NCAFS), and caregiver cognitive functioning (IQ) to determine which caregiver variables were associated with infant cognitive status. Mean score on the Bayley Mental Development Index was 87.4 (SD, 10.8). Almost half (44%) of the caregiver-infant dyads were categorized as “At Risk” for poor caregiver-infant interaction based on scores of the NCAFS. Mean caregiver IQ was 76.9. Logistic regression analysis indicated that care-giver IQ was the only statistically significant coefficient in the model predicting poor infant cognitive status (p = .009); however, caregiver-infant interaction showed a moderate effect (p = .08).
