Prevalence of autism spectrum disorder in a large, diverse metropolitan area: Variation by sociodemographic factors / Josephine SHENOUDA in Autism Research, 15-1 (January 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 15-1 (January 2022) . - p.146-155 Titre : Prevalence of autism spectrum disorder in a large, diverse metropolitan area: Variation by sociodemographic factors Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Josephine SHENOUDA, Auteur ; Emily BARRETT, Auteur ; Amy L.

SILENZIO, Auteur ; Walter ZAHORODNY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.146-155 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adolescent  Autism Spectrum Disorder/epidemiology  Autistic Disorder  Child  Humans  Population Surveillance  Prevalence  Sociodemographic Factors  Asd  autism  epidemiology  prevalence Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) prevalence estimates have varied by region. In this study, ASD prevalence, based on active case finding from multiple sources, was determined at the county and school district levels in the New Jersey metropolitan area. Among children born in 2008, residing in a four-county area and enrolled in public school in 2016, ASD prevalence was estimated to be 36 per 1000, but was significantly higher in one region-54 per 1000 and greater than 70 per 1000, in multiple school districts. Significant variation in ASD prevalence by race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status (SES), and school district size was identified. Highest prevalence was in mid-SES communities, contrary to expectation. Prevalence among Hispanic children was lower than expected, indicating a disparity in identification. Comprehensive surveillance should provide estimates at the county and town levels to appreciate ASD trends, identify disparities in detection or treatment, and explore factors influencing change in prevalence. LAY SUMMARY: We found autism prevalence to be 3.6% in New Jersey overall, but higher in one region (5.4%) and in multiple areas approaching 7.0%. We identified significant variation in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) prevalence by race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status (SES) and school district size. Mapping prevalence in smaller, well-specified, regions may be useful to better understand the true scope of ASD, disparities in ASD detection and the factors impacting ASD prevalence estimation.

The association of autism diagnosis with socioeconomic status / Pauline THOMAS in Autism, 16-2 (March 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 16-2 (March 2012) . - p.201-213 Titre : The association of autism diagnosis with socioeconomic status Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Pauline THOMAS, Auteur ; Walter ZAHORODNY, Auteur ; Bo PENG, Auteur ; Soyeon KIM, Auteur ; Nisha JANI, Auteur ; William HALPERIN, Auteur ; Michael B. BRIMACOMBE, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.201-213 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  ASD  prevalence of ASD  socioeconomic status  SES Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: In 2007 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported a higher prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in New Jersey, one of the wealthiest states in the United States, than in other surveillance regions. Objective: To examine the association of socioeconomic status (SES) with ASD prevalence. Methods: Information on eight-year-olds with ASD from four counties was abstracted from school and medical records. US Census 2000 provided population and median household income data. Results: 586 children with ASD were identified: autism prevalence was 10.2/1000, higher in boys than girls (16 vs. 4/1000); higher in white and Asian non-Hispanics than in black non-Hispanics and Hispanics (12.5, 14.0, 9.0, and 8.5/1000, respectively); and higher (17.2/1000 (95% CI 14.0–21.1)) in tracts with median income >US$90,000 than in tracts with median income ≤US$30,000 (7.1 (95% CI 5.7–8.9)). Number of professional evaluations was higher, and age at diagnosis younger, in higher income tracts (p < .001), but both measures spanned a wide overlapping range in all SES levels. In multivariable models race/ethnicity did not predict ASD, but the prevalence ratio was 2.2 (95% CI 1.5–3.1) when comparing highest with lowest income tracts. Conclusions: In the US state of New Jersey, ASD prevalence is higher in wealthier census tracts, perhaps due to differential access to pediatric and developmental services.
