Despite awareness of the importance of early relationships, there have been few ways to efficiently screen the quality of dyadic relationships. This study (also see related editorial in the same edition of the journal) demonstrates the validity, reliability and feasibility of the Early Relational Health Screen (ERHS), a tool that focuses on the early parent-child relationship (6-24 months). It could be a useful instrument for use by home visiting and early child health teams.
