To map the breadth of use of the Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) across world regions, and examine procedures for ASQ translation, adaptation, psychometric evaluation, and administration.
We conducted a review of all original, peer-reviewed studies written in English referencing use of the ASQ in LMICs. We used a consensus rating procedure to classify each article into one of four categories: feasibility study, psychometric study, prevalence study, or research study.
We analysed 53 peer-reviewed articles written in English detailing use of the ASQ in LMICs. We found evidence of ASQ use in 23 LMICs distributed across all world regions. The ASQ was translated into 16 languages. Just over half of the studies reported parent completion of the ASQ (50.9%). We identified eight feasibility studies, 12 psychometric studies, and nine prevalence studies. Study type varied by economy and region.
Findings suggest broad global use of the ASQ in a range of countries and cultural and linguistic contexts. There is need for further validation studies across all cited regions and countries and in countries ready to begin to design systems for providing universal developmental screening services.
The Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) has been used in at least 23 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The ASQ has been translated into at least 16 languages in LMICs. Over half the identified studies reported parent completion of the ASQ.
绘制 Ages and Stages Questionnaires（ASQ）在世界各地区中低收入国家（LMICs）中的使用范围，并考察 ASQ 翻译、改编、心理测量评估和管理的程序。
我们对所有以英文撰写并参考 ASQ 在 LMICs 中使用情况的原始同行评审研究进行了综述。我们使用共识评分程序将每篇文章分为以下四类之一：可行性研究、心理测量研究、流行率研究或研究研究。
我们分析了 53 篇以英文详细描述 ASQ 在 LMICs 中使用情况的同行评审文章。我们发现 ASQ 在分布在世界各地区的 23 个 LMICs 中得到了使用。ASQ 已被翻译成 16 种语言。超过一半的研究报告了家长完成 ASQ 的情况（50.9%）。我们确定了 8 项可行性研究、12 项心理测量研究和 9 项流行率研究。研究类型因经济和地区而异。
研究结果表明，ASQ 在一系列国家和文化语言背景中得到了广泛的全球应用。所有引用的地区和国家以及准备开始设计提供普遍发展筛查服务系统的国家都需要进一步进行验证研究。
Ages and Stages Questionnaires（ASQ）已在至少 23 个中低收入国家（LMICs）中使用。ASQ 已在 LMICs 中被翻译成至少 16 种语言。已确定的研究中有一半以上报告了家长完成 ASQ 的情况。
