ASQ-3 Cutoffs: How will switching to the ASQ-3

ASQ-3 Cutoffs: General Trends Old vs. New Cutoffs

• Means are very similar. • Total # of areas compared = 95
  – 59% of cutoffs had little or no change to the cutoff scores.

– 29% of cutoffs had a 5 up to 10 point difference.

– Only 11% > 10 point difference.

• Only one of the cutoffs with a > 10 point difference is now higher (10 mo GM).

Percentage of ASQ-3 normative sample with below cutoff scores

• Percentage with one area (or more) at or below cutoff. – Range = 12% to 19.2% – Average = 15.83%
• Percentage with two (or more) areas at or below cutoff. – 3.1% to 7.9% – 5.8%

Percentage of ASQ-3 normative sample in monitor zone

• Percentage with one area (or more) in monitor zone. – Range = 26.4% to 38.4% – Average = 32%

• Implications? – Follow-up protocols should be realistic, in terms of time and cost

to programs.
