MAZUREK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1765-1773 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The capacity of families with autistic children to demonstrate resilience is a notable strength that has received little attention in the literature. A potential predictor of family resilience in households with autistic youth is neighborhood support. This study examined the relationship between neighborhood support and family resilience in households with autistic youth utilizing data from the National Survey of Children?s Health. A structural equation model was constructed as neighborhood support and family resilience were latent variables. Findings demonstrated that neighborhood support significantly predicts family resilience. This study contributes to the literature as the first quantitative investigation of predictors of family resilience with this group. Strengths of autistic youth, their families, and their communities can be and should be leveraged to address challenges.

Associations between domains of health-related quality of life and co-occurring emotional and behavioral problems in youth with autism spectrum disorder / Michelle MENEZES in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 82 (April 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 82 (April 2021) . - 101740 Titre : Associations between domains of health-related quality of life and co-occurring emotional and behavioral problems in youth with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Michelle MENEZES, Auteur ; Micah O. MAZUREK, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101740 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  ASD  Quality of life  Well-being  Functioning  Comorbidity  Psychiatric comorbidity  Mental health Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) can be used as a measure of the impact of a particular disorder on one’s daily functioning. Previous studies have found that comorbid psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are associated with poorer HRQoL than ASD alone. Less is known about potential associations between specific symptoms of co-occurring psychopathology (i.e., emotional and behavioral problems) and domains of functioning or HRQoL in youth with ASD. Method Participants were 470 children with ASD 2–14 years old recruited from one of three sites. Hierarchical multiple regressions were conducted with Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 (PedsQL; Varni, Seid, & Kurtin, 2001) HRQoL domains of physical functioning, emotional functioning, school functioning, and social functioning as the dependent variables. Covariates were entered at step 1, followed by the independent variables of interest at step 2: irritability, social withdrawal, stereotypic behavior, hyperactivity/noncompliance, and inappropriate speech. Results The study found that increased irritability was associated with poorer emotional and physical functioning and that greater social withdrawal was associated with worse social functioning. Furthermore, findings showed that more hyperactivity/noncompliance was associated with worse school functioning. Conclusions Results demonstrated that certain emotional and behavioral symptoms are differentially associated with domains of HRQoL. This indicates that emotional and behavioral problems should be considered when measuring HRQoL in children with ASD. It also suggests that treating co-occurring emotional/behavioral problems could improve HRQoL and functioning in certain domains for this population.

This systematic review aims to synthesize the effectiveness and implementation outcomes of such trainings. The following databases were searched from inception until August 2023: PubMed, Web of Science, APA PsycINFO, CINAHL, ERIC, and a select number from Google Scholar. Ten studies were included in the present review because they met the following criteria: development and/or evaluation of a training for practicing community-based clinicians to diagnose autism, published full-text in English, and original research. Risk of bias was assessed through an adapted NIH quality assessment tool. Only seven distinct training programs in autism diagnosis for practicing community-based clinicians were identified. Trainings demonstrated preliminary efficacy in the improvement of clinician knowledge, self-efficacy, practice behavior, and diagnostic accuracy. Many of the trainings had a reported positive impact on the community and were feasible to participate in; however, systems-level factors (e.g., time and reimbursement) remain as barriers to community-based diagnosis. Findings from the present review position clinician training as a promising strategy to increase families' timely access to an autism diagnosis. More research on training models is needed due to both the limited number of trainings and the limited reported effectiveness and implementation outcomes. Future implementation studies are also needed to reduce systems-level barriers and to aid in the determination of what trainings best fit the needs of different contexts.

A Comparison of Health Care Expenditures for Medicaid-Insured Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Asthma in an Expanding Accountable Care Organization / Lee A. ROBINSON in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 50-3 (March 2020)

To inform ACO strategies for children with ASD, this study compared health care expenditures of children insured by a Medicaid managed care organization, empaneled to a safety net ACO, with ASD, asthma, and neither diagnosis. Compared to other study groups, children with ASD were more costly, had lower rates of acute care, and had higher rates of "leaked" care provided by home- and community-based mental health agencies outside of the ACO. These findings highlight the need for unique value-based strategies for children with ASD in a public sector ACO.
