Abstract

Abstract : In this response, we build on insights from Dr. David Foreman's commentary on our recent article "Socio‐emotional Surveillance in Preschoolers: Monitoring and Screening Best Identify Children Who Need Mental Health Treatment." In particular, we build on Foreman's insights that underidentification is likely related to clinician error, measurement error, and population properties by also including the role of community systems within which children are identified. We also provide frameworks for considering screening tools and developmental monitoring processes to help direct future research on this important topic.
