Hi
We did some work on its use antenatally and at three periods
postnatally, the correlations were good but there was also an extremely
strong correlation with social circumstances-
The study is unfortunately unpublished the leader was Ann Rowbottom
I also had a student find the same ante/postnatal correlation again
unpublished.
If anything this shows the need to publish.
