CAHMI screenersearch for term

The CAMHI (or CSHCN) screener is a five-item questionnaire designed to be answered by parents which can then be used to identify children who meet the definition of children with special health care needs endorsed by MCHB. Children are identified based on having functional limitations or service needs that are the result of an on-going physical, emotional, behavioral, developmental or other health condition. Named after the Child and Adolescent Health Measurement Initiative (CAHMI) at the Oregon Health and Science University, which led its development. The screener tool can be found at: http://cahmi.org/ViewDocument.aspx?DocumentID=115.
