Purpose To examine functioning and participation in a diverse U . S . sample of 180 infants at age 17 years. Design and Methods T he W orld H ealth O rganization I nternational C lassification of F unctioning, D isability and H ealth model framed functioning and participation domains and contextual factors. Assessment included cognition, executive functioning, academic achievement, personal functioning, community participation, and social involvement. Results Socioeconomic status, not prematurity, impacted cognitive and academic outcomes.
