Definition:

In the second stage of the BabyFirst screening process, families scoring "at-risk" on the BabyFirst Screen are assessed for caregiving difficulties by public health nurses with a semi-structured interview known as the Family Stress Checklist. Families scoring above the FSC cut-off score are eligible for the program and are offered BabyFirst home visiting.
