  • Title: Effectiveness of child-health screening.
    Author: Droogan J.
    Journal: Nurs Times; ; 94(24):54-6. PubMed ID: 9735802.
    Abstract:
    Screening for sensory problems in pre-school children often fails to detect a significant number of hearing problems sufficiently early. Evidence suggests neonatal screening is more effective and cost-effective than the infant distraction test at detecting congenital hearing loss. It is not yet clear how best to identify children with speech and language delay who will fail to progress without treatment.
