Abstract

Infants who are born preterm are at high risk for subsequent maltreatment. This study examines the relationship between family functioning, infant morbidity, parents' experience following their infant's admission to a neonatal intensive care unit, and postdischarge risk of parenting problems. For the sample as a whole, family factors emerged as the best predictors of outcome.
