The objective was to investigate the transcultural diagnostic validity of the Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ) in a clinical sample of 451 adults with Intellectual Developmental Disorder (IDD) with and without ASD in Germany, the U.S.A. and Great Britain. Variables associated with higher SCQ sum-scores were higher levels of IDD, male gender, a diagnosis of ASD and the study site (Germany?>?U.S.A?>?G.B.). An ROC analysis revealed a cut-score of 13, which resulted in a sensitivity of 0.87 and a specificity of 0.58. It is recommended to adjust the cut-score according to level of IDD and gender. Further research is needed to align diagnostic assignment of ASD across different sites and countries.

The Social Communication Questionnaire for adults with intellectual disability: SCQ-AID / Olivia DERKS in Autism Research, 10-9 (September 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 10-9 (September 2017) . - p.1481-1490 Titre : The Social Communication Questionnaire for adults with intellectual disability: SCQ-AID Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Olivia DERKS, Auteur ; Manuel HEINRICH, Auteur ; Whitney BROOKS, Auteur ; Paula STERKENBURG, Auteur ; Jane MCCARTHY, Auteur ; Lisa UNDERWOOD, Auteur ; Tanja SAPPOK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1481-1490 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder (ASD)  intellectual disability (ID)  social communication questionnaire (SCQ)  assessment  validity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) frequently co-occurs with intellectual disability (ID) and often remains undiagnosed until adulthood. The Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ) is a widely used measure to screen for ASD. To improve the utility of the SCQ for adults with ID, the aim of this study was to develop an ID-specific and adult appropriate algorithm for the SCQ using a core set of valid items. These items were identified in one sample (N = 226) and further cross-validated in a second, independent sample (N = 225) from Germany, England and the U.S. The newly developed algorithm has 24 items compared with the 40 items in the original instrument. The reduced item core set yielded similar diagnostic validity as the original algorithm with good sensitivity values (0.81–0.89) and low specificity values (0.62–0.72). Overall, these results suggest that the removed items may not carry diagnostically relevant information in adults with ID; thus, excluding these items may result in a more efficient and age-appropriate screening measure for this population. However, due to the low specificity values, a comprehensive assessment is essential for a final diagnostic assignment.
