How Do Primary Care Physicians Identify Young Children with Developmental Delays? A National Survey
Abstract
Little is known about the current practices of primary care physicians regarding developmental surveillance and screening during pediatric preventive care visits. We conducted a mailed survey of a random national sample of pediatricians and family physicians to describe their practices and identify factors that predict use of developmental screening tools, an efficacious way of identifying children with developmental delays. Most physicians reviewed developmental milestones and prompted parents for developmental concerns at preventive care visits. Approximately half of the physicians used a formal developmental screening instrument. Female physician gender predicted higher rates of use of screening tools for family physicians, but not for pediatricians. Most physicians seemed committed to the early diagnosis of developmental delays. Substantial variability in surveillance and screening practices, barriers of time and reimbursement, and under-reliance on parent-completed questionnaires underscore areas for improvement.

“Additionally, the majority of DLD cases in children are thought to remain unidentified, further indicating a great need to improve the early detection process by establishing risk factors [10,15–17].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
