- This paper provides an overview of research into early identification of children with developmental disabilities in child healthcare, especially those disabilities related to cognitive impairment. The review covers the following related topics: definition of the target group, the predictive value of developmental screening instruments and psychomotor tests, risk indexes, early intervention and evaluation of developmental screening programmes. Empirical research into child development and the predictive value of developmental tests is extensive. However, proportionally few, mostly cohort or case-control, studies focusing on evaluation of developmental screening programmes conducted within a clinical setting were found. Some sensitivity and most specificity rates reported fell within what is considered acceptable for developmental screening performed in the pre-school years, i.e. a sensitivity of more than 70% and a specificity between 70% and 80%. Overall, between 1-6% of the children screened were identified. Typically, most children with severe disabilities were identified prior to the screening or excluded from the studies reviewed. The shortcomings of developmental screening (instruments) and difficulties in early identification are discussed.

- This review discusses the need for universal neonatal hearing screening. Historical background is given concerning conventional childhood hearing screening programmes in western countries. Direct studies on the effects of very early habilitation programmes on speech and language development are cited. Measurement of otoacoustic emissions (OAE) as a tool for neonatal hearing screening is presented. The state of neonatal hearing screening programmes in the US and in Europe, particularly in Sweden, is discussed.

- This paper reviews interventions targeting socially deprived families, families with low birthweight/premature children, and some other problems (child abuse, sensitivity/attachment, postnatal depression). Conclusions are mainly based on randomized controlled trials. Earlier reviews in the field have emphasized the importance of intensive, enduring home visitation and of early education programmes for young children. Home visitation may positively effect several outcomes, including health behaviour, child safety and stimulation. Rates of child abuse and neglect have proven difficult to influence, but home visitation may result in other gains such as fewer accidents and serious injuries, and greater home safety. The cognitive development of low birthweight and premature children may be positively influenced by home visitation, particularly in combination with an early stimulation programme in the neonatal unit and pre-school placement. Postnatally depressed mothers have been shown to improve substantially from nurse counselling once a week for 6-8 wk. It is suggested that home visitation should be tried on a systematic basis, and that early pre-school experiences should be offered to children in different risk situations. Child Health Centres should introduce a screening programme for postnatal depression. Specialist child health units should be encouraged.
