ASQ:SE ages and stages questionnaires: social-emotional, SAM severely acutely malnourished
-
a The median of the age ranges on the eight age groups on ASQ:SE; b Child’s ASQ:SE score greater or equal to a cutoff score marks presence of problem behavior; c Deviation score is a distance of SAM child’s score from the cutoff score. Deviation percentage is calculated by dividing it by the cutoff score and then multiplying by hundred; d ‘Difference’ is calculated by referring to the healthy children (subtracting the social-emotional score of the non-malnourished children from that of SAM children); dividing the ‘difference’ by the median age at comparison and multiplying it by hundred gives its percentage
