What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Intelligence Quotient

    Intelligence quotient as measured by Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test, 2nd Edition. This scale yields standard scores where the mean is 100 and one standard deviation is 15. Higher scores indicate better function.

    Measured: one day
