- Abstract
Objective: To assess the discriminant validity of Risk Indicators of the Revised Development Behavior Profile (INDIPCD-R) as screening tool for the early detection of developmental alterations and delays in children aged 6 months to 4 years. Methods: Comparative cross-sectional study with a sample of 145 children, which included children attending a clinic and two day-care centers (CENDI). Of the total, 83 children were evaluated with INDIPCDR and the Revised Behavior Profile Developmental Scale (PCD-R), while the rest were evaluated only with INDIPCD-R. A descriptive analysis of frequencies of the variables of the study, U de Mann-Whitney to compare INDIPCD-R in the clinic and CENDI. Sensibility and Specificity for the INDIPCD-R. Internal consistency of the INDIPCD-R with the Cronbach's Alpha. Results: Significant differences were found in the frequencies of risk indicators (p < 0.05) in the two groups studied. In the group of children from the clinic, sensitivity: 100%; specificity: 69%. In the group from the CENDI, sensitivity: 94%; specificity: 84%. Cronbach's Alpha: 0.938. Conclusion: INDIPCD-R is a screening tool that discriminates children with delays and deviations in their development from those whose development is normal and not at risk. It was demonstrated in a valid and reliable way that children who apparently have a normal development, without specific diagnosis, may present developmental alterations.
