The Healthy Child Programme is the universal public health system in England to assess and monitor child health from 0 to 19. Following a review of measures for closer monitoring at age 2 years, the Department of Health for England implemented the Ages & Stages Questionnaires®, Third Edition (ASQ-3™; Hereon, ASQ-3).
The aim of this study was to evaluate the acceptability and understanding of the ASQ-3 in England by health professionals and parents.
A mixed-methods approach was used. This paper reports on the qualitative data drawn from interviews with 40 parents and 12 focus groups with 85 health professionals. The data were analysed using applied thematic analysis.
Overall, parents and health professionals found the ASQ-3 acceptable and understandable and could use it as a measure at age 2 years. The ability to work in partnership was valued. Some limitations included potential to cause anxiety, concerns around the safety of some of the items, and use of Americanized language. Health professional's training in the use the ASQ-3 was inconsistent.
The ASQ-3 is an acceptable and understandable measure to use as part of the 2-year assessment with some adaptations to the English context and some standardized training for health professionals.
“健康儿童计划”是英格兰的全民公共卫生系统，用于评估和监测0至19岁儿童的健康状况。在对2岁时更密切监测措施进行审查后，英格兰卫生部实施了《年龄与阶段问卷》第三版（ASQ-3™；以下简称ASQ-3）。
本研究的目的是评估健康专业人员和家长对英格兰ASQ-3的可接受性和理解程度。
采用混合方法。本文报告了对40名家长的访谈以及与85名健康专业人员进行的12个焦点小组讨论得出的定性数据。使用应用主题分析法对数据进行了分析。
总体而言，家长和健康专业人员认为ASQ-3是可接受且易于理解的，并且可以将其用作2岁时的一项评估工具。合作的能力受到重视。一些局限性包括可能引发焦虑、对某些项目安全性的担忧以及使用美式语言。健康专业人员在使用ASQ-3方面的培训不一致。
ASQ-3是一项可接受且易于理解的评估工具，可作为2岁评估的一部分，对其进行一些针对英国情况的调整，并为健康专业人员提供一些标准化培训。
