[Observed in kindergarten--taken into consideration in medical check-up 8/9: a cooperative model for improved early recognition of psychological problems].
At the initiative of a regional working group, 140 day care centres in Kreis Recklinghausen participate in a cooperative project. It is intended to contribute to the early screening of psychological problems in preschool children. Day care nurses fill in a form serving to record behavioural indicators of psychological problems and give it to the parents. The parents can then decide to hand it to the pediatrician on the occasion of their child's medical check up no. 8 or 9. After having considered this information in the examination context, the doctor returns the form to the parents. The form proved to be useful and the procedure performed well. The project should be implemented in other regions, too.
