  21. • Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate parents' perceptions of developmental checklists and the child development monitoring schedule in the Singapore health booklet. • Method: Parents of children aged 2 years 6 months to 3 years 11 months with or without developmental concerns (n = 450) completed a structured interview, and their child's health booklets were reviewed. • Results: Most parents reported reading and using the developmental checklists. However, only about half of them attempted the checklists with minimal help from professionals. Approximately 7 in 10 parents of children with developmental concerns found the checklists useful for identifying concerns about their child. Despite positive feedback from parents about the checklists, only about 1 in 4 parents brought their child for a 2 to 3 years developmental monitoring visit at the time of the survey, and the completion rates of the checklists were less than desirable. • Conclusions: Further revisions to the checklists can include simplifying the words and sentences and providing relevant pictures to aid understanding. If the checklists are to be used for screening, standardization of how the checklists are to be completed and how children at risk of developmental delays can be identified on the checklists need to be provided. Parents' awareness of the importance of evaluating their child's development at 9 months, 18 months, and particularly at 2.5 years, needs to be raised. Developmental screening for children at these critical ages can be made mandatory. An electronic version of the health booklet is likely to facilitate implementation of developmental screening in the health care system.

  27. MCHAT • 16 – 30 months • AAP guidelines: 18 and 24 months • High false positive rate -> other developmental disorder

  28. Vanderbilt Scoring

  29. Inattentive 9/9 > 6/9 = sig 0/14 > 3/14 = sig CD Hyperactive > 6/9 = sig 9/9 > 3/7 = sig 0/7 Mood ODD 0/8 > 4/8 = sig Function And any score of 4 or 5 CD

  30. Vanderbilt Assessment Scale • 6 – 12 years old • Together with the teacher assessment scale, used by paediatricians and psychiatrists, to aid in the diagnosis of ADHD • Parent assessment scale can be used by GPs as screening tool in clinic

  32. Mental Health is more than the absence of mental illness Mental illness • A state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is Mental health problem able to make a contribution to her or his community.

  33. Case • 11 year old boy comes for the 4 th time in 3 months to your clinic for a series of non specific complains like abdominal pain and headache. Each time asking to be excused from school. • The child comes alone to your consult each time, when questioned if there are any stressors and asked about his mood, he gives you nonchalant responses. • What do you do?

  36. Pediatric Symptom Checklist

  37. Pediatric Symptom Checklist • 3 to 18 years old • Psychosocial screen : cognitive, emotional, and behavioral problems • School age children: Scores of 28 or greater • Younger kids: Scores of 24 or greater • -> referral for further mental health assessment

  39. Difficulties faced Time Competing healthcare priorities Logistics Follow up Parents Cost receptivity Knowledge Literacy about tools Responsibility for the results Lack of training

  40. Caution • Positive screening does not equal diagnosis • Negative screening does not mean there is no issues • Lack of standardized measures for Singaporean children • Care giver reports are subject to biases • Confidentiality • Crisis management
