Predictive value of the Ages and Stages Questionnaire® for school performance and school intervention in late preterm- and term-born children.

Background: The new health supervision guidelines emphasize the importance of surveillance or a formal developmental screening test at 4 years, one of the most used tests is Ages & Stages Questionnaire. Nevertheless, there is still not enough evidence whether these tools will be useful to predict future school performance (SP).

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the Ages & Stages Questionnaire 3rd edition 48-month interval (ASQ3-48) translated to Spanish for predicting the need for school intervention (SI) and poor SP at 8-9 years of age, in late preterm infants (LPIs) and term-born infants (Terms) and to compare the prevalence of SI and poor SP in the two groups.

Hospitalisation in high-risk pregnancy patients: is prenatal attachment affected?

: To compare prenatal attachment in women hospitalised due to high-risk pregnancy with prenatal attachment in non-hospitalised patients. To describe the impact of social support, socio-demographic factors and the nature of the pregnancy on prenatal attachment, anxiety and depression. : An exploratory, cross-sectional and descriptive study utilising the Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory.

Comparison between Ages & Stages Questionnaire and Bayley Scales, to predict cognitive delay in school age.

Objective: To compare the predictive value of the Spanish Ages & Stages Questionnaire third edition adapted for Chilean population (ASQ-Cl) and the Bayley Scale of Infant and Toddler Development 3rd edition (Bayley-III) for cognitive delay at school age, and to identify the domain predictors.

Methodology: Data were collected from 306 term and preterm children of medium-high socio-economic level enrolled in a prospective cohort study. Developmental outcomes at 8, 18 and 30 months were assessed via the ASQ-Cl and Bayley-III; at 6-8 years cognitive development was assessed using the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-III).

Reliability and agreement of ages and stages questionnaires®: Results in late preterm and term-born infants at 24 and 48 months.

Aim: To evaluate the reliability of the Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ-3) 24 and 48 month intervals translated to Spanish by Brookes Publishing, and the agreement between both questionnaires, comparing late preterm (LPI) and term-born infants (terms).

Methods: Two cohort samples of healthy LPI and terms that were born in a private hospital in Barcelona, Spain. Internal consistency was analyzed by Cronbach's alpha scores and Pearson product- moment correlation between the domain scores and the overall score.

Metacognition in schizophrenia disorders: Comparisons with community controls and bipolar disorder: Replication with a Spanish language Chilean sample.

Metacognition refers to the activities which allow for the availability of a sense of oneself and others in the moment. Research mostly in North America with English-speaking samples has suggested that metacognitive deficits are present in schizophrenia and are closely tied to negative symptoms. Thus, replication is needed in other cultures and groups.

Validation of the Chilean version of the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-CL) in Community Health Settings.

Objective: To validate the translated and cross culturally adapted Chilean version of the 8 and 18month Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-CL) in a community sample.

Participants: Parents of 1572 term children (82.9%) and 324 children at risk for developmental delay (17.

Gestational age and developmental risk in moderately and late preterm and early term infants.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between gestational age (GA) at birth and risk of developmental delay at 8 and 18 months of corrected postnatal age.

Methods: During 2008 to 2011, infants at a corrected postnatal age of 8 or 18 months attending health centers in Santiago, Chile, were recruited. Participants completed a form on biographical and demographic characteristics and the Chilean validated version of the Ages and Stages Questionnaires, Third Edition (ASQ).

Validity of the ages and stages questionnaires in term and preterm infants.

Background: This study assessed the concurrent validity of the parent-completed developmental screening measure Ages and Stages Questionnaires, Third Edition (ASQ-3) compared with the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition (Bayley-III) in children born term, late preterm, or extremely preterm at 8, 18, or 30 months of corrected gestational ages (CGA).

Methods: Data were collected from 306 term and preterm children ages 8, 18, and 30 months' CGA recruited from an ambulatory well-child clinic in Santiago, Chile. Parents completed the ASQ-3 in their homes, and afterward a trained professional administered the Bayley-III in a clinic setting.

A family outreach intervention for engaging young out-of-treatment drug users: pre- versus post-treatment comparison.

Only a small fraction of drug users worldwide enter treatment each year. We evaluated the efficacy of a systemic family outreach intervention (SFOI) for young, untreated drug users, using a quasi-experimental design in which the experimental group (EG) received SFOI and the control group (CG) received traditional outreach work (OW). Both pre- and post-treatment, we administered the Addiction Severity Index-6 (ASI-6), the Family Environment Scale (FES), and tests of parental practices and risky behavior.
