Standardized psychiatric interview with the child. This incorporated tests of selected neurological features. -- 2. Intelligence and reading achievement testing for the school-age children. -- 3. Standardized parental assessment interview. -- 4. Questionnaire completed by teachers. -- 5. Interviews with physicians involved in the child's treatment. -- 6. Review of medical records. -- The three groups of children were compared for rates of psychiatric disorder, as determined by the parental and child interviews, and the teachers' questionnaire. Comparison of the three groups was also carried out for all individual items from the parental and child interviews, and the teachers’ questionnaire. The results of these comparisons were questionable due to difficulties obtaining adequately large control groups.
