Frequently Asked Question

CHADIS will age-adjust for developmental age vs. chronological age, up to age 2, per AAP recommendations for all developmental questionnaires. When completing registration, respondents will be asked if their patient is premature and enter the number of weeks premature. This data can also be entered by staff by editing the patient file. 

When using CHADIS auto-assignments to assign questionnaires (either staff auto-assign or respondent self auto-assign), CHADIS will adjust to gestational age for all developmental questionnaires. For example, if a child is 2 months old but 4 weeks premature, CHADIS will consider them to be 1 month old when assigning developmental questionnaires based on auto-assignments.

**If you would like to turn off CHADIS prematurity adjustment for a questionnaire, contact your Account Manager to allow you to alter the default settings for that questionnaire. Once they have enabled the ability to change the default settings, follow the instructions below. Auto-assignments can be edited by the CHADIS Administrators in your office.

1. Log in to CHADIS and click ‘Automatic Assignments’ under ‘Office Administration’ on the left hand side.

2. Click on the questionnaire to edit the prematurity setting.

3. You can now select ‘Use Default’ (only developmentally related questionnaires are adjusted), ‘Always Adjust’ or ‘Never Adjust.’
