State-wide, high-risk hearing screening is made possible in Utah through the use of a questionnaire designed for maternal response during hospitalization. The mothers of those determined high risk are sent a follow-up questionnaire when the infant is 6 to 8 months of age, and a determination is made for audiological testing on the basis of her response. Questionnaires (26352) were received on 50,700 live births, of which 4,591 (17.4%) were categorized high risk. Of the high-risk infants, 181 (3.9%) were determined at risk after follow-up, and 54 (20.8%) of these were found hearing impaired. Questionnaire item analysis is presented. Concerns regarding response validity and low return rate are discussed as is the pilot use of the birth certificate as the initial screening device.
在犹他州，通过使用一份为产妇住院期间设计的问卷，全州范围内的高危听力筛查得以实现。对于那些被确定为高危的婴儿，在其6至8个月大时会向其母亲发送一份后续问卷，并根据母亲的回答决定是否进行听力测试。共收到50,700例活产婴儿的问卷（26352份），其中4,591例（17.4%）被归类为高危。在高危婴儿中，181例（3.9%）在随访后被确定有风险，其中54例（20.8%）被发现有听力障碍。本文展示了问卷项目分析。还讨论了对回答有效性和低回复率的担忧，以及将出生证明作为初始筛查工具的试点使用情况。
