Our findings show that PHNs regard assessment tools as an aid to detect infants at risk, but that systematic use of such tools can hinder their ability to be flexible, egalitarian, and resource-focused. We also find that acceptability of assessment tools requires a system for continuous training and a well-established referral routine.
