Is there research on the validity and reliability of different administration methods of the ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2?
The developers have examined the difference between completing the questionnaires on paper and online and found that the results are equivalent. The research was published in [Infants & Young Children][1]. Questionnaire administration via telephone has not been examined by a research study. However, a lot of data col…
What in-person training options are available?

For the overall question about hearing loss on the ASQ-3, does a family history mean immediate family members as well as extended family members?
For the overall question Does either parent have a family history of childhood deafness or hearing impairment?, the term family history refers to both immediate and extended family members. At the least, the grandparents of the child's parent should be included because there is a genetic component to some types of hea…
I have encountered certain challenges with the items in the Communication domain for several intervals of ASQ-3. Can I modify certain items to adapt them to our local language?
Programs are able to adapt items that are not culturally or linguistically appropriate for the population they serve. Learn more about adapting[ ASQ for diverse populations][1]. If you are interested in creating an adapted version of the questionnaires for reproduction, you will need to obtain permission. You should …
What are the specific guidelines for how many hours child care providers should be working with children in order to fill out an ASQ-3 or ASQ:SE-2?
While the ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 are designed primarily to be completed by parents, caregivers or teachers who spend at least 15-20 hours a week with a child may also complete the questionnaires. This ensures that the person completing the questionnaire is familiar with the child's skills. We recommend that parents be inf…
Can the PDF files of the ASQ questionnaires be downloaded on multiple workstations at our clinic? Is there a limit per the license?
As long as a location owns an ASQ CD-ROM, the PDF files are able to be saved on as many computers as you'd like at that physical location. There is no limit. The files can also be uploaded to a server accessible to people at that site (but not a server that is accessible by people across multiple physical locations).
For a child whose initial ASQ-3 fell into the monitoring zone and the rescreening completed 3 months later with the same interval showed typical development, how long do I wait for the next screening?
If a child scores above the ASQ-3 cutoffs indicating typical development, the child can follow the same routine screening protocol that your program has established for all children.
We give parents both ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 at the same time. Which ASQ:SE-2 questionnaire should be used if there isn't a questionnaire that corresponds directly to child's age assessed with ASQ-3 (for example, 8 months)?
There are no gaps between age intervals for ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 questionnaires so there is always a questionnaire available for children in the appropriate age ranges (1-66 months for ASQ-3 and 1-72 months for ASQ:SE-2). Even when there is not an ASQ:SE-2 questionnaire with the exact same age as an ASQ-3 questionnaire,…
Sometimes a questionnaire cannot be completed during one home visit. Can the questionnaires be completed across two visits and still remain valid and reliable?
Sometimes it is not possible to have a parent (or a professional) complete a questionnaire all at one time. It may be better not to complete the ASQ all on one home visit and tire the child and parent. As long as the questionnaire is completed within a week or two from the start date, the results should still be valid…
We use ASQ-3 as our initial screener and the OUNCE for ongoing assessment. Is there an alignment between the two tools?
No, at this point in time, there is not an alignment between ASQ-3 and OUNCE.
