Validation of the Global Scales of Early Development (GSED) tool in rural Western Kenya
Overall, this study demonstrated the feasibility and initial validity of the GSED-LF as a direct assessment tool for use in rural Western Kenya. Additional psychometric analyses across diverse settings are needed to strengthen the reliability and validity evidence of the GSED-LF and establish it as a robust, globallyapplicable tool for assessing ECD in resource-limited settings.
