The Promoting Healthy Development Survey (PHDS)-PLUS

The purpose of this manual is to provide detailed guidelines for implementing the Promoting Healthy Development Survey-PLUS (PHDS-PLUS) in Medicaid and other programs and settings. The PHDS-PLUS is a parent survey that assesses whether young children (3–48 months old) receive nationally recommended preventive and developmental services. It is a telephone-administered version of the original PHDS, containing additional items about the child's health, health care utilization, parent's health, and other socio-demographic characteristics. The tool is available as a PDF and requires Adobe Reader.
