Autism spectrum disorder prevalence and associated sociodemographic factors in the school population: EPINED study / Paula MORALES-HIDALGO in Autism, 25-7 (October 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 25-7 (October 2021) . - p.1999-2011 Titre : Autism spectrum disorder prevalence and associated sociodemographic factors in the school population: EPINED study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Paula MORALES-HIDALGO, Auteur ; N. VOLTAS MORESO, Auteur ; Josefa CANALS SANS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1999-2011 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder/epidemiology  Child  Female  Humans  Parents  Population Surveillance  Prevalence  Schools  autism spectrum disorder  preschool-aged children  prevalence  school-aged children  sex ratio  sociodemographic factors Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : An increase in the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder has been reported around the world over the past decade. However, the prevalence data for southern Europe seem to be lower than international reports and notable methodological differences have been reported among studies. The objective of the Neurodevelopmental Disorders Epidemiological Research Project was to estimate the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder in a representative school sample of the province of Tarragona, Spain. The study included a screening procedure through parents (N?=?3727) and teachers (N?=?6894), and an individual assessment of children at risk and a comparison group (N?=?781). The overall estimated prevalence in our sample was 1.53%, being significantly higher than the 0.83% previously registered diagnoses. A total of 3.31% of the children presented subclinical characteristics of autism spectrum disorder. Girls showed a significantly lower estimated prevalence in all the conditions. Severity profiles were distributed as 46% mild, 47% moderate and 7% severe. Psychological support (65%), educational support (65%) and language therapy (51%) were given to children with autism spectrum disorder. Pharmacological treatment was only found among school-aged children (37.5%). Public schools provided more educational supports (72%) than private schools (36%). The heterogeneity of autism spectrum disorder makes it difficult to determine specific associated sociodemographic factors. The results confirmed a high prevalence of autism spectrum disorder in the province, suggesting a current under-diagnosis in public health services. In view of the results, it is important to promote early diagnosis and intervention, especially in particular groups such as girls, children with intellectual disabilities and children from immigrant families.

Do Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders Eat Differently and Less Adequately than Those with Subclinical ASD and Typical Development? EPINED Epidemiological Study / Josefa CANALS SANS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52-1 (January 2022)

A school population sample of 77 children with ASD, 40 with subclinical ASD, and 333 with TD participated. Compared to children with TD, pre-schoolers with ASD consumed fewer raw vegetables and less fish and eggs, while primary school children consumed fewer legumes, raw vegetables, citrus fruits, cheese/yogurt and olive oil, and more meat. All groups consumed an excess of sugar but those with ASD consumed even a greater amount than their peers. The higher prevalence of obesity found in primary school children with ASD may be the consequence of a less healthy eating pattern sustained over time.

The Childhood Autism Spectrum Test (CAST): Spanish adaptation and validation / Paula MORALES-HIDALGO in Autism Research, 10-9 (September 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 10-9 (September 2017) . - p.1491-1498 Titre : The Childhood Autism Spectrum Test (CAST): Spanish adaptation and validation Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Paula MORALES-HIDALGO, Auteur ; Joana ROIGÉ-CASTELLVÍ, Auteur ; Andreu VIGIL-COLET, Auteur ; Josefa CANALS SANS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1491-1498 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : CAST  ASD  Spanish population  psychometric properties Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The Childhood Autism Spectrum Test (CAST; Scott, Baron-Cohen, Bolton & Brayne, 2002) has proved to be a good test for screening autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and social communication problems. This study provides evidence on its psychometric properties, describe its validity for screening and provides data on its discriminative capabilities in a Spanish sample of 4–12 year-old children from community and clinical settings (N = 1460 and 36, respectively). Factorial and convergent validity is also assessed. The full Spanish version with a cut-off score of 15 presented a high sensitivity (83.9%) and specificity (92.5%), a positive predictive value (PPV) of .63 and an internal consistency (?) of .826. Some items showed low discriminating power and these results led us to propose a reduced version with 28 items and a cut-off score of 13, which presented a high sensitivity (85.7%) and specificity (91.16%), a PPV of .61 and an ? of .839. Correlations were high between the Spanish full and reduced versions of the CAST, and ADI-R (Autism Diagnostic Interview Revised) and ADOS-2 (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition). Like previous adaptation studies, a two-factor structure was found. The data show that the CAST can be a valid and reliable questionnaire for ASD screening in Spanish clinical and community populations.
