A cohort of children of low socioeconomic status, 76 with in utero cocaine exposure and 81 control subjects, was assessed for early language development at 2 1/2 years of age by a masked examiner using the Preschool Language Scale. There were no differences between groups in expressive, receptive, or total language score (all p > or = 0.57). Physicians caring for cocaine-exposed children with early language delay should not automatically ascribe the delay to cocaine exposure but should initiate a standard evaluation for language delay.
一组社会经济地位低下的儿童，其中76名有子宫内可卡因暴露史，81名作为对照对象，由一名蒙面考官在他们2.5岁时使用《学前语言量表》对其早期语言发育情况进行评估。两组在表达性、接受性或总语言得分方面均无差异（所有p≥0.57）。照料有早期语言发育迟缓的可卡因暴露儿童的医生不应自动将这种迟缓归因于可卡因暴露，而应启动对语言迟缓的标准评估。
