Abstract | As part of a series on a study of the learning disabled (LD) secondary student's environment, the document details findings on health and medical factors surrounding LD adolescents. Study participants included 234 LD, 222 low achieving (LA), and 215 normal achieving (NA) students and their parents. Data were collected from interviews with students and from parent instruments. Data included direct/related birth indices, neonatal medical/health status, childhood medical/health status, and present medical/health and nutritional status. Among findings were that there were few differences among the LD, LA, and NA groups in their medical/health histories, that mothers of LD adolescents reported a greater frequency of taking prescribed medication during pregnancy; that nutritional status of the LD and LA groups was lower than the NA group; and that NA adolescents had a greater frequency of presently taking medication than LD adolescents. Tables with statistical data from questionnaire responses make up more than half the document. (SB) |
