Is there data that shows that use of ASQ-3 improves children's development?
ASQ-3 is a screening tool. It checks a child's development and detects developmental issues that need follow-up.

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)?
