Summary

This study follows children born moderately or late preterm (32-36 weeks) to age 9, measuring their thinking, movement, language, behavior, and growth. Researchers compare these kids to full-term peers to understand long-term effects. The goal is to learn how early development predicts later outcomes, not to test a treatment.
