August 15, 2024 updated by: Kimford Jay Meador, Stanford University
To compare in-person to remote video assessments in children to determine the reliability of remote evaluations for future neuropsychological assessments and set a precedent for future investigations.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Other
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Crossover Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: In-Person Testing
In this arm, participants will undergo the neuropsychological assessment of interest (DAYC-2) in-person.
Participants will be randomly assigned to have either in-person testing of the DAYC-2 conducted. They will then cross over into the other testing condition approximately 3 weeks after their first assessment.
Other: Remote Testing
In this arm, participants will undergo the neuropsychological assessment of interest (DAYC-2) remotely over video/telehealth.
Participants will be randomly assigned to have either remote testing of the DAYC-2 conducted. They will then cross over into the other testing condition approximately 3 weeks after their first assessment.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Developmental Assessment of Young Children-2nd edition (DAYC-2) Standard Scores of the Communication Domain as a Measure of Direct Comparison of the 2 Testing Conditions.
Time Frame: Change from the first, baseline assessment to the second assessment, 21 days later.
Standardized Scores of DAYC-2 Communication Domain at end of each period for each intervention (i.e., in-person testing and remote testing). The standard score indicates the deviation away from a reference population. A standard score of 100 is equal to the mean. Numbers less than 100 indicate poor cognitive performance compared to the mean and numbers greater than 100 represent higher cognitive performance compared to the mean.
Change from the first, baseline assessment to the second assessment, 21 days later.
