PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to comprehensively examine physical, neurological, and psychological health in a U.S. sample of 180 infants at age 17. DESIGN AND METHODS: The World Health Organization International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health model framed the health-related domains and contextual factors. Assessments included growth, chronic conditions, neurological status, and psychological health. RESULTS: Physical health, growth, and neurological outcomes were poorer in the preterm groups. Minor neurological impairment was related to integrative function. Preterm survivors reported higher rates of depression, anxiety, and inattention/hyperactivity. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Complex health challenges confront preterm survivors at late adolescence, suggesting the necessity of continued health surveillance.
