    This study established Denver Developmental Screening Test norms for Metro-Manila children. It identified factors like caregiver, mother, child situation, and age influencing developmental screening test performance.

    Area of Science:

    • Developmental Pediatrics
    • Child Psychology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • The Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST) is a widely used tool for assessing child development.
    • Establishing local norms is crucial for accurate interpretation of developmental assessments.
    • Previous DDST norming studies have not specifically focused on the Metro-Manila population.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish age-specific norms for the Denver Developmental Screening Test in Metro-Manila, Philippines.
    • To identify demographic and situational factors associated with normal, abnormal, or questionable DDST scores in this population.

    Main Methods:

    • A large-scale cross-sectional study involving 6,006 children from 4,846 households in Metro-Manila.
    • Probit analysis was used to determine age-based performance benchmarks for 105 DDST items.

  • Discriminant analysis identified key factors associated with children's test performance.

    • Main Results:

    • Metro-Manila specific age norms were established for the DDST.
    • Four significant clusters of factors influencing DDST performance were identified: caregiver type, mother-related variables, child-specific situational variables, and age.
    • These factors help differentiate between normal and abnormal/questionable developmental screening outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • The study provides essential normative data for the DDST in Metro-Manila, enhancing its clinical utility.
    • Understanding associated factors can aid in early identification and intervention for developmental delays.
    • The findings underscore the importance of considering socio-environmental contexts in developmental assessments.
