Child and Adolescent Health Measurement Initiative

The Promoting Healthy Development Survey (PHDS) is a 43-item parent survey that can be used by health care providers, health systems, Medicaid agencies, and other stakeholders to measure and improve the quality of preventive and developmental care for children ages 0-48 months. The survey is designed to measure parent’s experience with care and the extent to which they received preventative and developmental services in accordance with nationally recommended guidelines put forth by the American Academy of Pediatrics and Bright Futures practice guidelines (3rd edition).1
