Autism spectrum disorder prevalence and associated sociodemographic factors in the school population: EPINED study / Paula MORALES-HIDALGO in Autism, 26-7 (October 2022)
[article]
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 ; Nùria 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 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.
