Definitions:Socioeconomic status was based on 'social stress' which is scored in the following way: "Information on social stress is based on a count of signs of weak socio-economic resources in the infant record. One point shall be awarded for each of the following four information: mother and father respectively with a maximum of 10th grade education and mother and father respectively currently out of work. The variable on social load can range from zero to four, and a higher score indicates fewer resources."
