The MUSAD prompts diagnostically relevant behaviors in twelve musical interactional situations. This study explores the psychometric properties of a short version (MUSAD-Short) for ASD screening. Method Excerpts from 60 videotaped assessments conducted with the original MUSAD were re-coded with a reduced item set. Based on these ratings, items were selected for the MUSAD-Short. Criterion validity of the MUSAD-Short was tested by comparing the MUSAD-Short assignment with the clinical ASD diagnosis. Inter-rater reliability was tested on a subsample of 22 individuals. A dichotomous response format was also examined to investigate whether further simplification is possible. Results Four situations (congas; ocean drum; symbolic instruments; movement to music) and fourteen items were selected for the MUSAD-Short. The diagnostic accuracy was appropriate, as indicated by sensitivity/specificity values of 73/75% (AUC =0.78). The inter-rater reliability was excellent, measured by the intra-class correlation (ICC) of.77. After item-dichotomization, sensitivity/specificity values were 73/70% (AUC =0.79). Conclusions The results indicate that the MUSAD-Short provides adequate diagnostic accuracy and sufficient inter-rater reliability. Shortening the original MUSAD is a promising approach to improving the scale?s applicability. However, future studies are needed that assess the MUSAD-Short's clinical and psychometric utility in an independent sample. Also, testing its practicability in children and adolescents with ID is indicated.

The Diagnostic Behavioral Assessment for autism spectrum disorder—Revised: A screening instrument for adults with intellectual disability suspected of autism spectrum disorders / Tanja SAPPOK in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-4 (April 2014)

The Diagnostic Behavioral Assessment for ASD – Revised (DiBAS-R) is a DSM-5/ICD-10 based caregiver-report screening tool that consists of 19 Likert-scaled items. This study evaluated the item-validities, item-difficulties, item-variances, part-whole corrected item total-correlations, reliability, and the factorial, diagnostic, and convergent/discriminant validities of the DiBAS-R in a clinical, adult ID sample (N = 219). Factor analysis yielded two consistent dimensions; i.e., social interaction/communication and stereotypy/rigidity/sensory abnormalities. The diagnostic validity was adequate, as reflected by an area under the curve of 0.89 and balanced sensitivity and specificity values of 81%. The DiBAS-R total scores were significantly correlated with the Social Communication Questionnaire (r = 0.52), the Scale for Pervasive Developmental Disorders in Mentally Retarded Persons (r = 0.50), and the Autism-Checklist (r = 0.59), while no significant correlation with the Modified Overt Aggression Scale was observed. The interrater reliability was excellent (ICC = 0.88). These findings indicate that the DiBAS-R is a promising and psychometrically sound instrument for ASD screening of adults with ID.
