Research Abstract |
We aimed to develop a tool named MORBAS (Mongolian Rapid Baby Scale) to screen risk of early child developmental delay in Mongolia and validated it against internationally recognized gold-standard instrument. We conducted follow up study in birth cohort of Bulgan province, Mongolia to describe priority health issues in maternal and child health in Mongolia 3 years after childbirth, and key areas requiring further health policy development.In development and validation study of MORBAS, good concurrent validity (r = 0.86-0.97), good sensitivity (81.8%) and moderate specificity (52.3%) were shown compared to gold standard. In a population-based study, data was obtained from 1,019 women and 1,013 children. The findings of this study showed that further development in health policy is required in Mongolia to target the significant health challenges of obesity, IPV, and urinary incontinence in mothers, and to prevent burns and ARI (acute respiratory infection) in children.
