Content Summary
This study evaluates the Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) as a feasible and effective screening tool for identifying developmental delays in children. The research involved both at-risk and community children, demonstrating the ASQ's high sensitivity and specificity. The findings support the ASQ's use in both clinical and community settings, although it should complement rather than replace clinical assessments.
