“…elevated risk), but the study also observed problems regarding concurrent validity, mainly that the mothers' own problems strongly predicted their responses on the ASQ:SE (Salomonsson & Sleed, ). In an adaptation of the ASQ:SE to Korean, the ASQ:SE exhibited adequate internal consistency and convergent validity against the Kongju Early Developmental Assessment System and the CBCL (Heo & Squires, ). A Dutch study (Theunissen, Vogels, de Wolff, Crone, & Reijneveld, ) reported weaker psychometric properties among a population of 1650 children aged three to 4 years old than those reported in the ASQ:SE manual.…”

“…When mental health problems in the preschool period are left unidentified and untreated, they can negatively impact children's development and evolve into disorders (Dougherty et al, 2015;Feeney-Kettler, Kratochwill, Kaiser, Hemmeter, & Kettler, 2010). There is broad consensus that the early years are the optimal period for identifying children at risk for later serious mental health problems (Dougherty et al, 2015;Doyle, Harmon, Heckman, & Tremblay, 2009;Heckman, 2006;Heo & Squires, 2011;Kauffman, 1999;Poulou, 2015;de Wolff, Theunissen, Vogels, & Reijneveld, 2013). The enduring nature of untreated emotional and behavioral problems renders identification at an early stage critical to increase the probability of successful treatment (Dowdy, Chin, & Quirk, 2013).…”

Background Early detection of mental health problems in childhood is important. However, studies on screening instruments for preschool children are rare. The aim of this study was to validate the Ages and Stages Questionnaire: Social‐Emotional (ASQ:SE) with teacher reports and examine its screening accuracy in a preschool population. Methods A total of 1428 children, aged 18 months – 5 years, attending child‐care centers were recruited in Norway. Their teachers completed a survey including the ASQ:SE and the Caregiver‐Teacher Report Form (C‐TRF). The Spearman's correlation was calculated for the convergence between the ASQ:SE and the C‐TRF and the screening accuracy of the ASQ:SE was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis with the criterion of a score at or above the 90th percentile for the C‐TRF total problem score. Results The Spearman's correlation between the total scores for the ASQ:SE and the C‐TRF were from .49 to .72. The ROC analyses demonstrated that the ASQ:SE had a promising ability to classify children at risk based on the C‐TRF criterion with AUC ranging from .87 to .96 for the different forms. The ASQ:SE generally demonstrated high specificity across all forms and some forms (from age 30 months upwards) produced both high sensitivity and high specificity using the selected cutoff values. Conclusions The ASQ:SE could serve as a good starting point for screening for social‐emotional problems among children in child‐care centers. The 30‐ to 60‐month ASQ:SE forms exhibit promising psychometric properties and may prove useful for early detection. The 18‐ to 24‐month ASQ:SE forms demonstrate more limited efficacy in detecting children at risk.

“…Socio-emotional abilities will be measured by The Ages and Stages Questionnaire: Social Emotional (ASQ:SE) [20]. The ASQ:SE is a short parent-reported questionnaire on social and emotional development in children, which has demonstrated good psychometric properties in the United States [21] and Norway [19]. Infant sleep is measured by the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire (BISQ).…”

Effects of cod intake in pregnancy on iodine nutrition and infant development: study protocol for Mommy’s Food - a randomized controlled trial

et al. 2018

Background: Iodine is a key component of thyroid hormones that are critical for normal development of the brain and nervous system in utero. Recent results indicate that two thirds of pregnant women in Europe have sub-optimal iodine nutrition. In Norway, milk and seafood are the most important dietary iodine sources and contributes to about 80% of the intake. Method: Two-armed randomized trial where 137 pregnant women were randomized to either receiving cod twice weekly, or continue with habitual diet for 16 weeks (pregnancy week 20-36). Socioeconomic-and demographic factors, dietary information and biological (urine, blood, and hair) samples are collected pre-and post-intervention, and at six weeks, three-, six-, and eleven months postpartum. Biological samples (urine, blood, and hair) of the infant are collected at six weeks, three-, six-, and eleven months postnatal.

Use of the Ages and Stages Questionnaires to Establish Indicators of Child Development in Public Daycare Centers in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil

Anunciação, Luis; Landeira-Fernandez, Jesus (Advisor). Use of the Ages and Stages Questionnaires to establish indicators of child development in public daycare centers in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Rio de Janeiro, 2018. 126p. Tese de Doutorado -Departamento de Psicologia. Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro.From 2010 to 2012, the city of Rio de Janeiro initiated a large-scale project to evaluate the development of children who were enrolled in daycare centers and public preschools. The evaluation of child development was performed annually, with an average of 60,000 children in ~80% of the daycare centers and public preschools in the city. After receiving specific training, professionals at each institution (e.g., teachers and caregivers) applied the Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE) to screen for risk factors (e.g., developmental delays) with regard to the major markers and milestones of child development.However, in the Brazilian context, there is a lack of studies that have investigated the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the ASQ:SE. Moreover, a dearth of studies has discussed the results of both the ASQ:BR and ASQ:SE with regard to longitudinal assessments, gender differences, and incorporation of the statistical results into public policies. That said, the present thesis had the following objectives: (1) to investigate the main psychometric properties of the ASQ:SE using both Classical Test Theory (CTT) methodology and Item Response Theory (IRT) and (2) to present an overview of child development in daycare services using the data that were gathered from this longitudinal project. Thus, this thesis comprises five articles in which the following studies were conducted. Initially, based on CTT, the factor structure of the ASQ:SE was estimated using Cronbach's , and preliminary cutoff points were computed, based on means and standard deviations.The second article extended investigation of the factor structure of the ASQ:SE and in the third article, a multidimensional IRT model was used for two purposes: (i) to confirm the dimensionality of all scales of the ASQ:SE and (ii) to verify its item characteristics. In the fourth and fifth article, the focus partially shifted from psychometric properties to the preliminary results of a longitudinal evaluation of children who were assessed over two or three consecutive years. The overall results provide evidence of the validity, reliability, and utility of the ASQ:SE and suggest PUC-Rio -Certificação Digital Nº 1412331/CA that children who are enrolled in Brazilian/Rio de Janeiro's public daycare centers, despite environmental adversity, are not at risk of serious developmental delays.
