Last Updated: 2012-05-16
Definition:
A component of the Early Development Instrument (EDI) that indicates if a child is experiencing challenges in at least three EDI domains. The MCI is scored based on challenges in nine or more subdomains (see Table 1.1: Early Development Instrument (EDI) Domains and Sub-Domains in Santos et al. (2012)). The MCI is scored dichotomously as either having or not having multiple challenges.
