STANDARDIZATION PROTOCOL
It is essential that the neurodevelopment data collected on the INTER-NDA are of the highest quality and minimally influenced by external sources of variation. The implementation of the procedures needs to be internally consistent, within and between the implementation sites, whether research, clinical or population-based. This is achieved by the standardisation of all neurodevelopment assessment procedures and equipment, which leads to maximal reliability of the child neurodevelopment indicators.
The INTER-NDA's standardization protocol was developed based on the INTERGROWTH-21st Project's fetal ultrasound and anthropometric standardization and quality control protocols, and the WHO Multicentre Growth Reference Study's measurement and standardization protocols.
An important goal of training and standardisation process for the INTER-NDA is to ensure that assessor develop, refine and maintain their techniques so that they take accurate and precise child development measurements that yield repeatable and reproducible values.
The standardization protocol for the INTER-NDA is available here.
We recommend that all assessors trained in the INTER-NDA undergo a standardization session during the training, and that this half-day activity is repeated annually.
