In response to an identified need for a reliable postpartum screening tool for Home Visitors, the Calgary Healthy Families Collaborative (CHFC) created the Calgary Healthy Families Screening Tool (CHFST). This tool was developed over 18 months in the context of an organizational research framework. The CHFST has been extensively tested using test-retest and inter-rater-reliability methods. Having demonstrated high sensitivity, the Calgary Healthy Families Collaborative and other organizations have successfully used this screening tool since 2007.

The Calgary Healthy Families Screening Tool is reliable and valid - it may be used for assessment.
