We administered the BSID-III, widely considered to be the “gold standard” of ECD diagnostic tests, to a sample of 1,079 eight to twenty-four month-old children (along with their caregivers) and administered the communication domain of ASQ-3 and CDI to the caregivers alone. There are two block of the data. The first block consisted of demographic and socioeconomic information from all households participating in the study.In the second survey block, three different scales were administered to all children to measure developmental outcomes of language: the language domain of the Revised Version of the Bayley Scales of Infant Development (BSID-III: language), the communication domain of the third version of the Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ-3: communication), and the short version of the MacArthur Communicative Development Inventory test (CDI).
