Developmental Screening Tool

BACKGROUND Only 30% of parents of children aged 9-35 months report that their child received a developmental screening in the previous year. Screening rates are even lower in low-income households, where the rates of developmental delays are typically higher than those in high-income households. Seeking to evaluate ways to increase developmental screening, Text4baby, a national perinatal texting program, created an interactive text message-based version of a validated developmental screening tool for parents. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess whether a text message-based developmental screening tool is usable and acceptable by low-income mothers. METHODS Low-income mothers of infants aged 8-10 months were recruited from the Women, Infants and Children Program clinics in Prince George’s County, MD. Once enrolled, participants used text messages to receive and respond to six developmental screening questions from the Parents’ Evaluation of Developmental Status: Developmental Milestones. After confirming their responses, participants received the results and feedback. Project staff conducted a follow-up phone survey and invited a subset of survey respondents to attend focus groups. A representative of the County’s Infants and Toddlers Program met with or called participants whose results indicated that their infants “may be behind.” RESULTS Eighty-one low-income mothers enrolled in the study, 93% of whom reported that their infants received Medicaid (75/81). In addition, 49% of the mothers were Hispanic/Latina (40/81) and 42% were African American (34/81). A total of 80% participated in follow-up surveys (65/81), and 14 mothers attended focus groups. All participants initiated the screening and responded to all six screening questions. Of the total, 79% immediately confirmed their responses (64/81), and 21% made one or more changes (17/81). Based on the final responses, 63% of participants received a text that the baby was “doing well” in all six developmental domains (51/81); furthermore, 37% received texts listing domains where their baby was “doing well” and one or more domains where their baby “may be behind” (30/81). All participants received a text with resources for follow-up. In a follow-up survey reaching 65 participants, all respondents said that they would like to answer screening questions again when their baby was older. All but one participant would recommend the tool to a friend and rated the experience of answering questions and receiving feedback by text as “very good” or “good.” CONCLUSIONS A mobile text version of a validated developmental screening tool was both usable and acceptable by low-income mothers, including those whose infants “may be behind.” Our results may inform further research on the use of the tool at older ages and options for a scalable, text-based developmental screening tool such as that in Text4baby.

Developmental Screening Tool

Abstract BACKGROUND Infants with childhood-onset epilepsies, including epileptic encephalopathies, are at high risk of developmental challenges such as motor and language delays. There has been a growing focus on developmental screening instruments due to the association between delayed development and long-term adverse outcomes, including negative impacts on health-related quality of life, school achievement and social participation. Therefore, children with developmental delays should be referred as early as possible to rehabilitation services such as occupational, physical, or speech therapy. Developmental screening using standardized tools is recommended in order to identify the high-risk children that require additional developmental assessments. The Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ), a parent-completed developmental screening tool, is one of the more cited and recommended developmental screening tools. However, its utility in children with early-onset epilepsy has yet to be validated. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine the validity of the ASQ for identifying children with new-onset epilepsy who require further professional developmental rehabilitation. DESIGN/METHODS Fifty infants (25 males) with seizure onset under 3 years of age were prospectively recruited. Parents completed the ASQ-3 before the first clinic appointment. The ASQ-3 evaluates 5 domains of development. An ASQ score below 2 standard deviations (SD) on any one of the domains was considered abnormal. Once completed, all infants were evaluated by a multidisciplinary team including neurologists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists to determine if they should be referred for further rehabilitation interventions. Accuracy of the ASQ was calculated in terms of sensibility, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV). RESULTS Mean age at the initial evaluation was 13.1 months (SD=8.22). Among the 50 infants, 36 (72%) received a score <-2 SD in at least one domain of the ASQ and 43 (86%) were referred for further rehabilitation services after the multidisciplinary assessment. The ASQ had a sensitivity of 81%, a specificity of 71%, a PPV of 93% and a NPV of 36% in identifying children with new-onset epilepsy who would require further rehabilitation services. CONCLUSION The ASQ, a well-known parent-completed developmental screening tool, when abnormal shows adequate validity for the identification of children with early-onset epilepsy who require developmental assessments and interventions by rehabilitation professionals. Our results also provide further evidence that development delay is the rule rather than the exception in infants with new onset epilepsy.
