Further psychometric validation in outpatient settings is essential given the need to prioritize time- and cost-efficient measures. This archival review study examined the internal consistency, construct validity, and predictive validity of the SCQ-L. Method Participants were the parents of 76 youth aged 4–12 years who presented with developmental concerns at an outpatient ASD clinic (33 diagnosed with ASD and 43 not diagnosed with ASD). Results Results suggested good internal consistency for the SCQ-L total score and SCQ-L Reciprocal Social Interaction subscale, but questionable internal consistency for the SCQ-L Communication and Restricted, Repetitive, Stereotyped Behavior subscales. There was evidence of construct validity for the SCQ-L total score and subscale scores with other measures of social and adaptive functioning, although the relationships between the SCQ-L scores and ASD severity using the Childhood Autism Rating Scale, 2nd edition-High Functioning Form (CARS2-HF) and daily living skills and the relationship between the SCQ-L Communication subscale and Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale- Communication subscale (VABS-Communication) were weaker than expected. A cutoff of ≥15 for differentiating youth with ASD from those without ASD was ideal for the sample studied. At this cut-off sensitivity was 0.70 and specificity was 0.67. Conclusions Overall, this study provides further psychometric support for the use of the SCQ-L and clarifies the appropriate cut-off score that will optimize sensitivity and specificity to identify youth with and without ASD in an outpatient setting, where the use of the SCQ is commonly utilized.

Sensitivity and Specificity Between the Screening Tool for Autism in Toddlers and Young Children (STAT) and Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2) / Jaclyn GUNDERSON in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-8 (August 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 56-8 (August 2026) . - p.2969-2976 Titre : Sensitivity and Specificity Between the Screening Tool for Autism in Toddlers and Young Children (STAT) and Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2) Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jaclyn GUNDERSON, Auteur ; Flora HOWIE, Auteur ; Sunil MEHTA, Auteur ; Annie REDLIN, Auteur ; Andrea HUEBNER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2969-2976 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The current study evaluated the agreement of the Screening Tool for Autism in Toddlers & Young Children (STAT) in differential diagnosis of autism in an outpatient clinical population, compared to the more time and resource-intensive Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-Second Edition (ADOS-2). Sensitivity and specificity comparative analyses were completed on 44 patients (aged 24–36 months) who were administered both the STAT and the ADOS. Sensitivity and specificity were also calculated independently on patients that received a STAT (n = 102, 24–36 months) or ADOS-2 (n = 72, 24–36 months) and multidisciplinary clinical evaluation. Using clinical diagnosis as the measure of truth, 33 of the 44 received a clinical diagnosis of ASD. Agreement between the STAT and ADOS-2 was 90.9% (40/44; 95% CI 78.3–97.5%). The sensitivity of the STAT was 90.9% (30/33; 95% CI 75.7–98.1%) and the sensitivity of the ADOS was 100% (33/33, 95% CI 89.4–100%) in our sample. The specificity of the STAT was 90.9% (10/11; 95% CI 58.7–99.8%) and the specificity of the ADOS was 100% (11/11; 95% CI 75.1–100.0%). The STAT showed high sensitivity and moderate specificity in differentiating children with autism from those with other neurodevelopmental disorders in this outpatient clinic population. There was excellent agreement between the STAT and ADOS-2. The STAT may be an acceptable diagnostic tool to refine clinic models and reduce wait times for evaluation in toddlers who present with concerns for autism.
