Since t h e v a l i d i t y of t h e DPDQ has been examined only i n predominantly White middle c l a s s populations i n Denver, CO, a prospective study was conducted t o a s s e s s the v a l i d i t y of t h e quest i o n n a i r e i n a predominantly indigent Black population. The eff e c t of an educational package i n increasing the accuracy of pare n t a l response t o DPDQ a s a l s o assessed.127 i n f a n t s were enrolled i n a longitudinal follow-up program from age 2 wks t o 1 yr. Parents i n a randomly s e l e c t e d experimental group observed an audiovisfial presentation describing progressive developmental behavior and were asked t o record t h e i r c h i l d ' s subsequent development.78 of t h e 127 i n f a n t s were followed f o r 3 mos, while 53 and 33 have been followed f o r 6 and 9 mos, respectively. The mean agreement scores between parental responses t o the DPDQ and the observed development v i a DDST were 93.6%, 93.2% and 91% a t 3, 6, and 9 mos, respectively. Tliere were no s i g n i f i c a n t d i f f e r e n c e s i n t h e item agreement scores of the experimental group vs t h e control group thereby demonstrating f a i l u r e of t h e educational program i n increasing t h e accuracy of parents. The o v e r r e f e r r a l r a t e was q u i t e low (12.8%).The r e s u l t s a t t e s t t o the v a l i d i t y , generality and f e a s i b il i t y of DPDQ i n a lower socioeconomic population and r a i s e some questions about parent education through audiovisual and w r i t t e n materials.

Faculty of Health Sciences, Ben Gurion University of t h e Negev, Primary Care Unit, Beersheba, I s r a e l .W e implemented a standardized d a t a base (SDB) and problem l i s t (PL) i n two 50-bed general p e d i a t r i c wards X and Y, and measured number of problems i d e n t i f i e d and amount of d a t a c o l l e c t e d i n 100 randomly sampled records from each ward before (period I ) , immedi a t e l y a f t e r (period 2 ) , and one year a f t e r implementation (period 3 ) .Mean subjective d a t a score a t periods 1,2 and 3 was 14.96+S.D. 5.57, 28.18*S.D.9.76 (p=<0.005) and 28.7tS.D.9.53 respectively, (maximum possible=50). Mean objective d a t a score a t periods 1,2 and 3 was 10.97*S.D.4.96, 17.64fS.D.1.78 (p=<0.005) and 17.48tS.D. 1.7, r e s p e c t i v e l y (maximum possible=21). There was no s i g n i f i c a n t d i f f e r e n c e between wards X and Y, mean number of problems i d e n t if i e d on admission t o ward X a t periods 1,2 and 3 was 2.22 (range 1-6; mode 1; median 2), 2.08 (range 1-5; mode 1; median 2), 2.17(range 1-6; mode 1 ; median 2 ) , 2.18 (range 1-6; mode 1; median 2), 2.17 (range 1-6; mode 1 ; median 2 ) . Percentage of records with 3 problems on discharge from ward X a t periods 1,2 and 3 was SO%, 40% and 52%, respectively, and f o r ward Y, 25%, 39% (p=<0.025) and 42%.An SDB can increase s i g n i f i c a n t l y amount of d a t a ...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
