Although many education and health programs aim to improve early childhood development, it is challenging to assess developmental levels of infants and small children through large household surveys. The Caregiver Reported Early Development Instruments (CREDI) has been proposed as an adaptable, practical, and low-cost instrument for measuring the developmental status of children under 3 years of age at scale, as it is relatively short and collected by caregiver report. This study employed the CREDI to measure the development of a sample of 994 children ages 22-35 months in rural India and compared the results to those obtained using the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development (Bayley-III), a reliable and widely used instrument, albeit one not always suited to large-scale data collection efforts given its length, cost, and complexity of administration. The CREDI validation exercise showed that caregivers can provide assessments in keeping with the more interactive (hence more time-consuming and training-intensive) Bayley-III instrument. Noteworthy, there was no indication that concordance of the instruments differed by education of the caregiver. This is important as it points to alternate feasible tools to measure child development outcomes through large-scale surveys.

评估护理人员报告的早期发展工具 (CREDI) 在印度农村的表现

尽管许多教育和健康计划旨在改善儿童早期发展,但通过大型家庭调查评估婴幼儿的发展水平具有挑战性。照顾者报告的早期发育工具 (CREDI) 已被提议作为一种适应性强、实用且低成本的工具,用于大规模测量 3 岁以下儿童的发育状况,因为它相对较短且由照顾者报告收集。本研究采用 CREDI 来衡量印度农村 994 名 22-35 个月儿童样本的发育情况,并将结果与​​使用贝利婴幼儿发育量表 (Bayley-III) 获得的结果进行比较,这是一种可靠且广泛使用的方法。仪器,尽管考虑到其长度、成本、和管理的复杂性。CREDI 验证练习表明,护理人员可以提供与更具交互性(因此更耗时和更密集培训)的 Bayley-III 仪器保持一致的评估。值得注意的是,没有迹象表明这些工具的一致性因照顾者的教育而有所不同。这很重要,因为它指出了通过大规模调查衡量儿童发展成果的替代可行工具。
