Pearson correlations on internally standardised scores, Standard Errors (SE) computed using bootstrap stratifying by age category and socio-economic sector (n = 1000 replications):

* p<0.05,

** p<0.01,

*** p<0.001. Matching scales bolded.

a Concurrence larger than ASQ concurrence, matching domain;

b Concurrence larger than BDI-2 concurrence, matching domain;

c Concurrence larger than Denver-II concurrence, matching domain;

d Concurrence larger than SFII concurrence, matching domain;

e Concurrence larger than Denver-II fine motor-adaptive concurrence with Bayley-III cognitive scale.

f Children 8–18 months;

g Children 6–15 months.
