“…ASQ validity has been examined across different cultures and communities across the world [29–32] and has excellent psychometric properties (test–retest reliability of 92%, sensitivity of 87.4%, and specificity of 95.7%) [26, 29, 31–33]. The inter-rater reliability values obtained were 0.88, 0.91, 0.88, 0.89, and 0.86 for the communication, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, problem-solving, and social–personal domains, respectively, and 0.93 totally [26].…”

BackgroundDespite the known adverse effects of maternal overt hypothyroidism on the neurocognitive development of children, there is uncertainty regarding the impact of gestational thyroid dysfunction or autoimmune thyroiditis on infant/child neurological development. This study aims to evaluate the impact of levothyroxine (LT4) treatment on the psychomotor developmental status of three-year-old children born to mothers with mild thyroid impairment (subclinical hypothyroidismwith/without autoimmune thyroiditis).Methods/DesignThis is a follow-up study of the Tehran Thyroid and Pregnancy Study, a randomized trial in which subclinical hypothyroid pregnant women were assigned to an intervention group (treated with levothyroxine) or a control group (received no treatment). The primary outcome for the purpose of the present study is the developmental status of the children, aged three years, in five domains (communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem-solving, and social–personal domains) using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ).DiscussionThe study is designed to assess the developmental status of children born to mothers with mild thyroid impairment (subclinical hypothyroidism with/without autoimmune thyroiditis). This study is one of the limited studies available in this field and has the potential to facilitate much-needed information for related public health policies.Trial registrationIranian Registry of Clinical Trials, IRCT2017090314849N5.

“…This assessment policy would probably not be considered cost-effective. Pondering the needs of developing countries to empirically assess the impact of their own interventions and the cost of training specialized professionals in cognitive assessment, a probable answer for a cost-effective and reliable assessment public policy would be using screening measures (Filgueiras, Pires, Maissonette, & Landeira-Fernandez, 2013;Hunter & Lynch, 2013;Sarmiento Campos, Squires, & Ponte, 2011). It is important to highlight that a cognitive outcome would not replace an assessment measure for quality of staff, environment and interaction.…”

Childcare programs can be expensive for developing countries. To measure the efficiency of these interventions in early childhood cognitive outcomes, screening measures are proposed in this article. A systematic review was conducted to answer two questions: which are the empirical evidence available in the literature to support using psychological screening measures in child daycare centers; and if those measures can be adopted as cost-effective assessment policies for children's cognition. A total of 109 articles were retrieved. After the exclusion criteria, 18 articles remained. Ten screening measures were detected in the literature. Among those ten, three instruments were used both in child daycare centers and as assessment policies. Psychometric properties and adequacy of these measures to childcare programs are considered. Using Brazil as an example, the present article also discusses the challenges of adopting evidence-based practices in childcare policies in developing countries.
