Area of Science:

  • Child Development
  • Pediatric Health
  • Social Determinants of Health

Background:

  • Homelessness and poverty significantly increase health risks for children, including developmental delays.
  • Early identification and intervention are crucial for mitigating risks associated with delayed development in children.
  • Parent-completed developmental screening tools offer a potential avenue for early detection, particularly in vulnerable populations like homeless children.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize the growth and developmental profiles of children experiencing homelessness.
  • To compare the effectiveness of a parent-completed developmental screening measure against professional assessments in this population.
  • To evaluate the utility of the Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) in identifying developmental concerns in homeless children.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective, comparative pilot study involving 20 homeless mothers and their 21 children.
  • Professional developmental screening using the Denver Developmental Screening Test II (DDST II).
  • Parental completion of the Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) for developmental assessment.

Main Results:

  • The DDST II identified nine children with potential language delays.
  • Mothers using the ASQ reported concerns in fine motor skills (n=9), communication/language (n=4), and problem-solving (n=4).
  • High agreement between ASQ and DDST II was observed in gross motor (95%) and personal-social development (95%), with lower agreement in language development (67%).

Conclusions:

  • Developmental screening is critically important for homeless children due to heightened risks associated with poverty and housing instability.
  • Parent-completed tools like the ASQ can be valuable complements to professional screenings for early detection of developmental issues in this population.
  • Nurses and nurse practitioners play a vital role in assessing and implementing interventions for developmental concerns in homeless children.
