Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 39-1 (January 2009) . - p.142-148 Titre : Underdiagnosis and Referral Bias of Autism in Ethnic Minorities Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sander BEGEER, Auteur ; Mark MEERUM TERWOGT, Auteur ; Hans M. KOOT, Auteur ; Saloua EL BOUK, Auteur ; Wafaa BOUSSAID, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.142-148 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Developmental-assessment Diagnostic-errors Stereotyping Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study examined (1) the distribution of ethnic minorities among children referred to autism institutions and (2) referral bias in pediatric assessment of autism in ethnic minorities. It showed that compared to the known community prevalence, ethnic minorities were under-represented among 712 children referred to autism institutions. In addition, pediatricians (n = 81) more often referred to autism when judging clinical vignettes of European majority cases (Dutch) than vignettes including non-European minority cases (Moroccan or Turkish). However, when asked explicitly for ratings of the probability of autism, the effect of ethnic background on autism diagnosis disappeared. We conclude that the use of structured ratings may decrease the likelihood of ethnic bias in diagnostic decisions of autism.
