To develop a quick, practical tool to identify home environments likely to be suboptimal for the development of children, we adapted segments of the Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment (HOME) Inventory, which assesses the environments of children from birth to 6 years, and devised the Home Screening Questionnaire (HSQ). Whereas the HOME Inventory requires a home visit, the HSQ consists of two forms, one for children from birth to 3 years, another for 3 to 6 years, that are completed by parents without a home visit. The questions are formulated at the third to sixth grade reading level and can be completed in 15 to 20 minutes. Scoring and interpretation by a professional takes 5 minutes. HSQ questions were answered by more than 1500 parents of low-income families. Between 81% and 86% of the environments determined to be of concern by the HOME Inventory were identified by the briefer and less expensive HSQ. Thus the HSQ readily lends itself to use by health care providers who serve low-income families.
为开发一种快速、实用的工具来识别可能对儿童发育不利的家庭环境,我们改编了《家庭环境测量观察量表》(HOME)的部分内容,该量表用于评估从出生到6岁儿童的生活环境,并设计了家庭筛查问卷(HSQ)。HOME量表需要进行家访,而HSQ由两种表格组成,一种针对0至3岁的儿童,另一种针对3至6岁的儿童,由家长在无需家访的情况下完成。问题的表述为三至六年级的阅读水平,15至20分钟即可完成。由专业人员进行评分和解读需5分钟。1500多名低收入家庭的家长回答了HSQ的问题。通过更简短、成本更低的HSQ识别出的环境,占HOME量表确定为令人担忧环境的81%至86%。因此,HSQ很适合为低收入家庭服务的医疗保健人员使用。
