What is it about?
A team of clinicians, early childhood educators, researchers and infant mental health specialists collaborated to develop and test a novel video-based, dyadic relational screening and monitoring tool, the Early Relational Health Screen (ERHS). This tool uniquely focuses on the early parent-child relationship (6–24 months).

Why is it important?
Initial testing has demonstrated that the ERHS is a valid, reliable, feasible, and useful screening and monitoring tool for clinical applications. The ERHS was further developed within a population based, prospective research study (the Little in Norway study) and adapted with brief video feedback for parents in the home visiting and child health sectors.
Perspectives
The ERHS and its adaptations appear to advance early relational health and equity within the transforming child health and publichealth care systems of today.
