      ab: OBJECTIVE: To determine the effectiveness of developmental screening on the identification of developmental delays, early intervention (El) referrals, and El eligibility. METHODS: This randomized controlled, parallel-group trial was conducted from December 2008 to June 2010 in 4 urban pediatric practices. Children were eligible if they were <30 months old, term, without congenital malformations or genetic syndromes, not in foster care, and not enrolled in El. Children were randomized to receive 1 of the following: (1) developmental screening using Ages and Stages Questionnaire-ll (ASQ-II and Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) with office staff assistance, (2) developmental screening using ASQ-II and M-CHAT without office staff assistance, or (3) developmental surveillance using age-appropriate milestones at well visits. Outcomes were assessed using an intention-to-treat analysis. RESULTS: A total of 2103 children were enrolled. Most were African- American with family incomes less than $30 000. Children in either screening arm were more likely to be identified with delays (23.0% and 26.8% vs 13.0%; P < .001), referred to El (19.9% and 17.5% vs 10.2%; P < .001), and eligible for El services (7.0% and 5.3% vs 3.0%; P< .001) than children in the surveillance arm. Children in the screening arms incurred a shorter time to identification, El referral, and El evaluation than children in the surveillance arm. CONCLUSIONS: Children who participated in a developmental screening program were more likely to be identified with developmental delays, referred to El, and eligible for El services in a timelier fashion than children who received surveillance alone. These results support policies endorsing developmental screening.
