An evaluation of the diagnostic validity of the structured questionnaires of the adult Asperger?s Assessment / Anna JONES in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 53-7 (July 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 53-7 (July 2023) . - p.2636-2646 Titre : An evaluation of the diagnostic validity of the structured questionnaires of the adult Asperger?s Assessment Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Anna JONES, Auteur ; Katie ROGERS, Auteur ; Keith SULLIVAN, Auteur ; Nina VILJOEN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2636-2646 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The Adult Autism Quotient (AQ), the Empathy Quotient (EQ) and the Relative?s Questionnaire (RQ) were used as part of the Adult Asperger?s Assessment (AAA) by a diagnostic service for adults without an intellectual disability with suspected autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This service is part of the National Health Service (NHS) in England. Little is known about the utility of these structured questionnaires despite wide use in clinical practice. It was investigated whether the questionnaires could discriminate between individuals with and without a diagnosis of ASD. Receiver Operating Curve analysis showed good levels of sensitivity to detect a positive diagnosis, but the specificity to exclude those without a diagnosis was poor. A binary logistic regression showed that a combination of the questionnaires also showed limited diagnostic validity. These findings have clinical implications in reviewing the efficiency of the assessment process.

Convergent and Discriminant Validity and Reliability of the Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale in Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorders / Eric A. STORCH in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 42-11 (November 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 42-11 (November 2012) . - p.2374-2382 Titre : Convergent and Discriminant Validity and Reliability of the Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale in Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Eric A. STORCH, Auteur ; Jeffrey J. WOOD, Auteur ; Jill T. EHRENREICH-MAY, Auteur ; Anna JONES, Auteur ; Jennifer PARK, Auteur ; Adam B. LEWIN, Auteur ; Tanya K. MURPHY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2374-2382 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Anxiety  Children  Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale  Validity  Reliability Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The psychometric properties of the Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale (PARS), a clinician-administered measure for assessing severity of anxiety symptoms, were examined in 72 children and adolescents diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The internal consistency of the PARS was 0.59, suggesting that the items were related but not repetitive. The PARS showed high 26-day test–retest (ICC = 0.83) and inter-rater reliability (ICC = 0.86). The PARS was strongly correlated with clinician-ratings of overall anxiety severity and parent-report anxiety measures, supporting convergent validity. Results for divergent validity were mixed. Although the PARS was not associated with the sum of the Social and Communication items on the Autism Diagnostic Observation System, it was moderately correlated with parent-reported inattention, aggression and externalizing behavior. Overall, these results suggest that the psychometric properties of the PARS are adequate for assessing anxiety symptoms in youth with ASD, although additional clarification of divergent validity is needed.
