ASQ-3™ makes screening even easier, faster, more comprehensive, and more parent-friendly—and every change and addition is seamless, so longtime users have all the benefits of a new and improved system without the hassles of learning new procedures. With ASQ-3 you’ll get
- New 2-month questionnaire that lets you reliably screen infants as young as 1 month.
- New 9-month questionnaire—exactly what you need to follow the AAP’s Screening Policy, which calls for structured developmental screening at
9-, 18-, and 24- or 30-month well-child visits. - “Any child, anytime” screening. With ASQ-3’s expanded administration windows, you can accurately screen any child from 1–66 months without any gaps between the questionnaire age intervals—meaning your program will always meet compliance timelines for screening.
- Online options—by popular request! Ensure accurate, efficient ASQ screening with the NEW user-friendly online management systems (ASQ Pro, ASQ Enterprise and ASQ Hub); and online questionnaire completion (ASQ Family Access).
- New, open-ended questions on behavior and expressive language assist in eliciting parent concerns that may indicate autism.
- New standardization with an unrivaled sample that closely mirrors the U.S. population in geography and ethnicity and includes children of all socioeconomic statuses. The sample includes 15,138 children whose parents completed 18,232 questionnaires.
- Revised cutoff points based on the restandardization ensure that ASQ-3 identifies children for further assessment with excellent sensitivity (.86) and specificity (.85), two of the most important criteria for measuring a screener’s accuracy.
- New monitoring zone. Now ASQ-3 shows you not only which children may need further assessment, but also which children may need ongoing monitoring.
- Updated User’s Guide with more explicit guidance, more family scenarios, and a revised technical appendix.
- NEW Quick Start Guide. Perfect for busy professionals on the go, this lightweight laminated guide keeps administration and scoring basics close at hand.
- Refined questionnaires for improved accuracy. Illustrations, wording, and examples in the ASQ-3 questionnaires have been refined according to user feedback, so parents of diverse backgrounds can give the most accurate responses.
- User-friendly design enhancements. The sturdy no-crush box and handy tabbed dividers make ASQ-3 even easier to use, and the questionnaires have been designed to fit on fewer pages, saving you the time and cost of more photocopying.
- Refined Spanish translation to improve the accuracy of parent responses.
