“…If the child was older than the limit age for the 95% of population passing the item, and did not pass it, the item was counted as a “Delay”. The counting of caution and delayed items is used to determine risk or developmental delay status [ 29 ]. For nominal classification, children with ≥1 Delay or ≥2 Cautions were classified as “At risk”.…”

“…An administration of test analysis requires comparing caregiver reports with direct child observation. Vitrikas et al [ 29 ] described both a parent-completed EDS tool as an instrument for obtaining screening information through parent participation, and (as a separate instrument) a directly administered EDS tool where information is based on direct observation of the child by a physician or other expert. To probe the potential of an EDS tool to improve the outlook of at-risk children in conditions of poverty in LMICs, the current study describes the use of a parent-administered report of direct observation and activities for children between 36 and 59 months of age.…”

Parental developmental screening with CARE: A pilot hybrid assessment and intervention with vulnerable families in Colombia

Poverty and scarcity of resources make children in low-and-middle-income countries at risk of not reaching their developmental potential. Despite a near-universal interest in risk reduction, effective interventions like enhancing reading skills in parents to diminish developmental delay remain elusive for the great majority of vulnerable families. We undertook a efficacy study for parental use of a booklet called CARE for developmental screening of children between 36 to 60 months old (M = 44.0, SD = 7.5). All participants (N = 50), lived in vulnerable, low-income neighborhoods in Colombia. The study followed a pilot Quasi-Randomised Control Trial design (i.e., control group participants assigned based on non-random criteria) of parent training with a CARE intervention group compared to a control group. Data was analyzed using two-way ANCOVA for sociodemographic variables’ interaction with follow-up results and one-way ANCOVA to evaluate the relations between the intervention and post-measurement of developmental delays and cautions and other language related-skills outcomes, while controlling for pre-measurements. These analyses indicated that the CARE booklet intervention enhanced children’s developmental status and narrative skills (developmental screening delay items, F(1, 47) = 10.45, p = .002, partial η2 = .182; narrative devices scores, F(1, 17) = 4.87, p = .041, partial η2 = .223). Several limitations (e.g., sample size) and possible implications for the analysis of children’s developmental potential are discussed and considered for future research, along with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the closure of preschools and community care centers.

“…Even though the AAP endorses screening for developmental concerns; autism spectrum disorder; tobacco, alcohol, or drug use; and depression, the AAFP does not have the same guidelines. The AAFP (2020) overview of guidelines aligns with the USPSTF to give these areas of screening a recommendation of “I,” which signifies there is insufficient evidence to assess the benefits versus harm for this service, evidence is lacking, or poor quality or conflicting research (Siu, 2015; Vitrikas et al, 2017). The differences in recommendations between the AAP and the AAFP likely have an impact on the screening practices of pediatricians and family physicians.…”

Introduction:The prevalence of behavioral health disorders in children is approximately 15%-20%, yet less than half of the children ever receive treatment for these conditions. The lack of access to behavioral health care is common in urban areas but even more difficult to access in rural areas. Screening for behavioral health in a primary care setting is one of the first strategies to reduce this problem and improve access to care. The primary goal of this study was to examine behavioral health screening practices of pediatric primary care providers in a rural midwestern state. Method: A survey that queried family practice/internal medicine and pediatric providers who provide care to pediatric patients was delivered to over 300 primary care providers across the state. The number of surveys returned was 112. Results: The Modified Checklist for Autism tool was administered by 80% of pediatric providers and 30% of family practice primary care providers. The Patient Health Questionnaire for depression was administered by 72% of pediatric and 80% of family practice providers. Most of the primary care providers had a behavioral health provider present in the clinic, which likely resulted in higher screening rates compared to the national average. Discussion: The screening practices of the family practice and pediatric subspecialities reflect their respective current professional organization recommendations. Although most providers believe it is important to screen for developmental and behavioral disorders, further system changes are
