    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric audiology
    • Public health screening programs
    • Maternal and child health

    Background:

    • State-wide hearing screening is crucial for early detection of hearing impairment in infants.
    • Maternal questionnaires are utilized for initial high-risk infant identification.
    • Follow-up assessments are necessary to confirm audiological testing needs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a maternal questionnaire-based, state-wide hearing screening program in Utah.
    • To analyze the yield of identifying high-risk infants and subsequently hearing-impaired infants.
    • To assess the feasibility of using birth certificates for initial screening.

    Main Methods:

    • Maternal questionnaires were administered during hospitalization for initial screening.
    • High-risk infants were identified based on maternal responses.
    • A follow-up questionnaire was sent to mothers of high-risk infants at 6-8 months.
    • Audiological testing was determined based on follow-up responses.

    Main Results:

    • Over 50,700 live births were screened, with 17.4% categorized as high-risk.
    • Follow-up identified 3.9% of high-risk infants as still at risk.
    • Hearing impairment was confirmed in 20.8% of those identified at risk after follow-up.
    • Questionnaire item analysis was performed, and concerns about response validity and low return rates were noted.

    Conclusions:

    • The maternal questionnaire approach identified a significant proportion of high-risk infants for further audiological evaluation.
    • The study highlights challenges including response validity and return rates in questionnaire-based screening.
    • Pilot use of birth certificates as an initial screening tool was explored.
