Our work in the IMPROVE Preterm project is led by researchers in the Department of Population Health Sciences and the School of Psychology and Vision Sciences, for which we are carrying out research to develop, evaluate and standardise a novel parent report measure of children’s development at 5 to 7 years of age.
