1 - Screening Questions for Parenting Intervention

step-by-step guidance for Just Beginning eligibility process

Shape1

Read to applicant: This short survey asks a few questions about your children to determine whether you are eligible for Just Beginning services. Answering these questions is voluntary. We hope you will answer the questions to determine if you are eligible for the available program services. The survey is estimated to take about 5 minutes to complete. Your name will not be included in any written reports and your answers will be kept private to the extent permitted by law.

Note to facilitator: If father says he sees two or more children in the age range the same amount, then staff will say: “We usually recommend that fathers participate in this program with the child they see the most often or, if you have more than one child you see a lot, then the child that is the youngest. Is there any reason why you think it would be better to participate with a child under 3 years of age who is not your youngest child?” If yes, then discuss. If no, then ask: What is the name of your youngest child?


[If the father has twins/triplets in the age range, then the staff person will ask the names of the twins/triplets and select the first in alphabetical order to be the focal child. He can still bring both/all babies to the sessions.]
