study was to determine the prevalence of school delay in school age children and
to identify its determinants in Brazzaville. A case-control study, comparing school

students of CM2 (primary 6) and those of 3ème (form 4) of both public
and private schools of Brazzaville. The sample selection was made according to a
random survey by strata, the number of strata was set to 2. The sample consisted
of 2064 pupils including 1138 girls (55.1%). A total of 2064 students (1138 male/926
