Screening for mental health problems in a Norwegian preschool population. A validation of the ages and stages questionnaire: Social ‐emotional (ASQ:SE)

ConclusionsThe ASQ:SE could serve as a good starting point for screening for social‐emotional problems among children in child‐care centers. The 30‐ to 60‐month ASQ:SE forms exhibit promising psychometric properties and may prove useful for early detection. The 18‐ to 24‐month ASQ:SE forms demonstrate more limited efficacy in detecting children at risk.
