Development and evaluation study of FLY-Kids: a new lifestyle screening tool for young children.Evaluating, discussing, and advising on young children's lifestyles may contribute to timely modification of unhealthy behaviour and prevention of adverse health consequences.  The lifestyle screening tool "FLY-Kids" was developed using data from lifestyle behaviour patterns of Dutch toddlers, age-specific lifestyle recommendations, target group analyses, and a Delphi process.  Through 10 items, FLY-Kids generates a dashboard with an overview of the child's lifestyle that can be used as conversation aid.  FLY-Kids was completed by parents of children aged 1-3 years attending a regular youth healthcare appointment.  Youth healthcare professionals (YHCP) then used the FLY-Kids dashboard to discuss lifestyle with the parents and provided tailored advice.  Descriptive and correlation statistics were used to determine the usability, feasibility, and preliminary effect of FLY-Kids.  Parents and YHCP regarded FLY-Kids as usable and feasible.  The number of items identified by FLY-Kids as requiring attention was associated with the number of items discussed during the appointment (r = 0.47, p < 0.001).      Conclusion: FLY-Kids can be used to identify unhealthy lifestyle behaviour in young children and guide the conversation about lifestyle in preventive healthcare settings.  End-users rated FLY-Kids as helpful and user-friendly.  What is New: • The new lifestyle screening tool FLY-Kids generates a dashboard with an overview of young children's lifestyle that can be used as conversation aid between parents and youth healthcare professionals.  • As parents and youth healthcare professionals rated FLY-Kids as helpful and user-friendly, and the number of items identified by FLY-Kids as requiring attention was associated with the number of items discussed during the appointment, FLY-Kids can be considered guiding the lifestyle discussion in preventive healthcare settings.
