In the Spring 1998 issue, articles highlight the Center's diverse cross-cultural projects and global research, training and technical assistance projects. This issue also reports on: the founding of the Step by Step childhood education program; a U.S./Russian collaborative project called "Special Education and Social Work Services for Children with Disabilities and Their Families"; collaborative research with European and Asian countries; the international collaborative Latino Families of Children with Mental Retardation project; the Partnerships for Inclusion program, which provides technical assistance to Hispanic communities in North Carolina; and a survey of public and private kindergarten teachers on children's transition into kindergarten. The Fall 1998 issue reports study findings on: the link between sleep behaviors and learning development in preterm infants; assessing health risks earlier; the role of poor nutrition in virus mutations; and strategies for dealing with ear infections in early childhood. Other articles report news of respiratory infections in child care settings and controlling diarrhea in out-of-home infant care.
