The participants consisted of 30 children aged 6–18 years among which 24 had a clinical diagnosis of Asperger disorder or Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified and 6 had a clinical diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). All participants were verbally fluent and had IQ estimates of 80 or higher, determined with the Wechsler Nonverbal Scale of Ability (WNV). Forward and backward translation of the CARS2-HF and the Childhood Autism Rating Scale Second Edition, Questionnaire for Parents or Caregivers (CARS2-QPC) was completed before the administration of the scales. The results of this study showed that the Lebanese CARS2-HF has a high degree of internal consistency (.92), inter-rater reliability (.97), and test–retest reliability (.99). Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis determined that individuals with total raw scores below 26 are less likely – to be in the autism spectrum. This instrument can be used in screening and assessing for ASD in high-functioning Lebanese and Arab speaking individuals.

Validation of the Lebanese Childhood Autism Rating Scale-Second Edition-Standard Version / Leyla AKOURY-DIRANI in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-9 (September 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 7-9 (September 2013) . - p.1097-1103 Titre : Validation of the Lebanese Childhood Autism Rating Scale-Second Edition-Standard Version Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Leyla AKOURY-DIRANI, Auteur ; Maysam ALAMEDDINE, Auteur ; Mariana SALAMOUN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1097-1103 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : CARS2 Standard Version  Validation  Autism  Intellectual disability Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract The purpose of this study is to validate the Childhood Autism Rating Scale-Second Edition-Standard Version (CARS2-ST) to the Lebanese population. The participants consisted of 109 children among which 90 had autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and 19 had intellectual disability (ID). Forward and backward translation was ensured before administration. The Wechsler Nonverbal Scale of Ability (WNV) was used to estimate the level of intellectual functioning. The Lebanese CARS2-ST was found to have a good reliability as measured by internal consistency (.95), inter-rater reliability (.99), and test–retest reliability (.89). It classified individuals as having ASD versus ID based on a cutoff score of 26 or higher for children younger than 13 years old and a cutoff score of 28.5 or higher for adolescents (?13 years). A similar level of psychometric properties was found with the original CARS2-ST. Therefore, the Lebanese CARS2-ST is a useful tool for assessing for ASD among the Lebanese population.
