Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary outcomes for this study are neurodevelopmental outcomes, neuroimaging scores, and behavioral measures	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Our secondary outcomes are school readiness scores. We will also consider negative deviance / resilience as a secondary outcome because whereas we expect positive correlations between stimulation and cognitive scores, we will also be interested in those who have low stimulation scores and high developmental scores.	—
