About the Ages and Stages Questionnaires programme
ASQ-3™, ASQ:SE-2™ and the 2 year review
The three-part elearning module, ‘Ages & Stages Questionnaires® and the 2 year review’, is an interactive resource commissioned by Health Education England in partnership with the Department of Health and other professional bodies.
The module was developed by the University of Hertfordshire and HEE elearning for healthcare and is designed to support health professionals using the Ages & Stages Questionnaires®: A Parent-Completed Monitoring System, Third Edition, (ASQ-3™) and the Ages & Stages Questionnaires®: Social Emotional, Second Edition (ASQ:SE-2) as part of the Healthy Child Programme (HCP) health and development review at age 2-2½.
More information
The Department of Health is developing a population measure to show child development at 2-2½ years, to be included in the public health outcomes framework from 2015. Data for the measure will be collected using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-3™), which is a parent-completed tool.
Health visiting teams will therefore need to use ASQ-3™ as part of their HCP reviews at age 2-2½.
The elearning modules are designed to support health visitors or community nursery nurses using the ASQ-3™ and illustrate how the tool fits into the wider HCP review.
Incorporating video clips from real-life 2-2½ year reviews, the modules cover the practicalities of using the ASQ-3™ and the areas of child development included in the measure, as well as best practice on scoring questionnaires and communicating with parents about ASQ-3™.
The ASQ-3™ elearning modules are designed to be useful to all those involved in delivery of the HCP reviews at age 2-2½.
