Concurrent validity of the parent‐completed Ages and Stages Questionnaires, 2nd Ed. with the Bayley Scales of Infant Development II in a low‐risk sample
Abstract:Background This study assessed the concurrent validity of the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) compared with Bayley Scales of Infant Development II (BSID II) amongst children aged 24 months. Methods Data were collected from 53 infants and mothers who participated in the New York State Angler Cohort Child Development Study. Parents completed the 24-month ASQ to assess communication, personal-social, problem-solving ability, and fine and gross motor control. The BSID II was administered by a clinical psycholo… Show more
“…The ASQ's sensitivity has varied (75%-100%) depending on instrument compared. 28,30,44 Intraclass correlations 0.75 to 0.82 were observed for parental testretest reliability. 30 As such, we recognize that some children may be misclassified on development.…”
BACKGROUND: Previous studies identified associations between maternal obesity and childhood neurodevelopment, but few examined paternal obesity despite potentially distinct genetic/epigenetic effects related to developmental programming.

“…The assessment tools in MoBa are based on standardized and validated scales constructed to identify difficulties within each developmental domain (24)(25)(26)(27). Included items were selected from full scales and represented key developmental domains (Supplemental Methods).…”
“…Existing international screening tools (9)(10)(11)(12) were not designed to address all developmental fields and were unsuitable for a Mongolian context.…”
Our newly developed tool takes only 15 min to complete and is easy to administer. It demonstrated good concurrent validity and sensitivity for the screening of developmental status in young children. This innovative tool will be useful to identify children who may benefit from early interventions in Mongolia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
