Abstract: It is common for parents to have concerns or questions regarding their child. However, parental concerns are not always recognised by the youth healthcare professional. At the same time, not all parents agree with concerns identified by the professional. Identifying and agreeing on concerns is an essential step in the assessment of care needs within child health care. This article describes the effects of an innovative 'GIZ'2GIZ = Gezamenlijk Inschatten Zorgbehoeften [in Dutch], translated as Joint Assessment of Care Needs.2 methodology for joint assessment of care-needs developed to support the professional in engaging parents in assessing strengths, developmental concerns and care needs of the child and family. The current study compares parent-professional agreement on concerns and follow-up actions, and parents' satisfaction with the consultation with and without the GIZ.
