Glossary Definition
Last Updated: 2007-12-11
Definition:
A brief measure of biological, social, and demographic risk factors. This is used by public health nurses to screen all postpartum referrals in Manitoba. The BFS is the first of two screening stages for Manitoba's BabyFirst program. For more information see the
Families First Screen / Screening Form
glossary term.
NOTE:
In 2003, the screen and the home visiting program changed names from BabyFirst to Families First to better reflect a family-centered approach (Brownell et al., 2012).
