Risk factors associated to iq scores

Reference no: EM1324409

Arnold Sameroff and his colleagues developed an environmental risk scale - the scale was based on a number of features of the environment that put children at risk for low IQs such as:

1) head of household unemployed or working in low-status occupation

2) mother did not complete high school

3) at least four children in family

4) no father or stepfather

5) African-American family

6) large number of stressful life events in past few years

7) rigidity of parents' beliefs abourt child development

8) maternal anxiety

9) maternal mental health

10) negative mother-child interactions

Design an intervention program for preschool children who are at risk designed to boost their intelligence test performance. Be explicit about the links between the factors covered in the risk index and the outcomes of poverty. Explain why your program addresses the factors included in the risk index and how it leads to different outcomes than those that research shows are connected to poverty and intellectual development.

A short response of 200 words would assist me.
