However, some programs use 38 weeks or 40 weeks of gestation as a full-term pregnancy, which is also fine. When using ASQ-3 or ASQ:SE-2, you adjust for prematurity if a child is born 3 or more weeks prematu...

ASQ:SE-2 questionnaires ask for parents to respond to items based on their child's usual behavior. The child does not need to complete any tasks for ASQ:SE-2 to be completed. ...
The ASQ developers recommend that programs obtain the consent of parents and caregivers when screening a child. If parents choose not to participate in the screening program, it is important to respect their wishes.
