Title of project: 
A comparison of parental questionnaires and a system of professional child health surveillance in identifying developmental impairments.
Proposal summary: 

This project will investigate how well parents and health professionals can identify developmental problems in preschool children, using the ALSPAC study, a total birth cohort of 14,138 children born in 1991-2.

We will test whether parents are the first to identify impairments in their children and whether questionnaires can be an effective method of selecting children for further professional assessment in the pre-school period.
