Abstract:
Culturally appropriate techniques for monitoring child psychosocial development were prepared and tested in China, India and Thailand on a total of 28,139 children. This is the largest study of its kind ever undertaken. Representative groups aged between birth and 6 years were examined and the results were used to produce national development standards-separately for rural and urban children in China and India, and for all children combined in Thailand-which are considered to be more satisfactory than foreign-based standards. In each country, between 13 and 19 key milestones of psychosocial development were selected for a simplified developmental screening operation and these have been incorporated on a home-based record of a child's growth and development. Between 35 and 67 tests have been devised in each country to test the children at first-referral level.
