Commentary: Taking stock and moving forward - the need to consider the influence of loss to follow-up in autism screening research / Van Kim MA ; Heidi M. FELDMAN in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 65-9 (September 2024)

FELDMAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1243-1244 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This commentary highlights the limitations of many existing population-based studies examining the utility of the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers, Revised/Follow-Up (M-CHAT-R/F) in screening for autism. We expound on three major factors: (a) the limited number of screen-negative children who undergo diagnostic evaluations, (b) the substantial number of children who screen positive and were subsequently lost to follow-up (i.e. without further diagnostic evaluations), and (c) the sizeable number of children who did not complete the full two-stage screening process as intended. Each of these factors can lead to erroneous estimates of the psychometric properties, specifically, the sensitivity, specificity, and negative predictive value. Hence, we emphasize the need for future studies to increase the number of children who screen negative and receive a diagnostic evaluation and ensure that these children are selected at random without a higher likelihood for the presence of autism. It is also imperative that concrete steps are taken to minimize the number of screen-positive children who are lost to follow-up both within and after the screening process. Both of these will play a major role in ensuring more robust results from empirical research that can guide the clinical implementation of the M-CHAT-R/F.

Psychological Impact of Autism Screening on Caregivers / Ramkumar AISHWORIYA in Autism Research, 19-6 (June 2026)

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, an independent national panel of disease prevention experts, stated that this gap in knowledge limited their ability to endorse universal autism screening. This study examined the psychological impact of autism screening, using data from a large community-based sample (n?=?1272) involving online caregiver-completed autism screeners at child age 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24?months. Caregivers completed the Participation Impact Questionnaire retrospectively (mean child age at completion 37.2?±?4.8?months) to measure feelings about screening. A minority (34.7%) of the sample reported presence of ≥?1 negative feeling; the most commonly endorsed was ?worried?. Among this subset, negative feelings were of short duration (lasted for En ligne : https://doi.org/10.1002/aur.70267 Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=589 [article] Psychological Impact of Autism Screening on Caregivers [texte imprimé] / Ramkumar AISHWORIYA, Auteur ; Devon GANGI, Auteur ; Van Kim MA, Auteur ; Chandni PARIKH, Auteur ; Nor Azyati YUSOFF, Auteur ; Narueporn LIKHITWEERAWONG, Auteur ; Sally OZONOFF, Auteur . - p.e70267.
