When calculating a child's age to choose the correct age interval, does the date administered count as a complete day in the calculation?
Yes, the administration date is counted as a full day when calculating age. But, the child's birth date is not counted.

I am scoring a completed ASQ:SE-2 questionnaire, but one of the items has two answers. That is, the parent circled two responses for one item. How would I score that item?
First, you should try to contact the parent and determine which response they intended to choose for that item. If you cannot get a response from the parent, you should drop that item from the scoring (similar to a parent skipping an item) and calculate an adjusted score. For easy adjusted scoring calculation, use …
The ASQ-3 User's Guide reports cutoff scores and standard deviation intervals for each interval. Does a similar table exist for ASQ:SE-2?

Parents of these children may be discouraged when completing questionnaires because their child can do on…
Is a child considered premature if born before 37 weeks of gestation?
When conducting research for ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2, the authors used 39 weeks of gestation as a full-term pregnancy. 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 prema…
