Dear Colleagues,
I am conducting a standardization and
validation study on a newly developed
developmental/behavioral screening tool for children
between 0 and 2 years of age. I am looking for sites in
North America--Canada and the US. I'd like to work with
health care providers including office staff who are responsible
for developmental screening and surveillance.
Participation involves administering the new
measure to 12 - 25 patients. Each administration takes about
25 minutes. The study pays $20 per completed protocol. The
test involves 15 minutes of direct test administration
during which time parents are asked to complete a
parent-report version of the tool. The remaining 10 minutes
are devoted to parent interview and clinical judgment
items. Sites devoted to assessment of children with
suspected disabilities may also wish to participate in the
validation portion of the study which pays an additional 5$
per subject and involves attaching existing developmental
test scores.
If you are interested in participating, or think
you might be, please let me know and send your mailing
address, fax numbers, contact person, etc. We will send you
a box of protocols and test stimuli and a manual that more
fully describes the study. If you have additional
questions, please e-mail Frances.P.Glascoe@Vanderbilt.edu
Thanks,
