A Cross-Cultural Comparison of Knowledge and Stigma Associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder Among College Students in Lebanon and the United States / Rita OBEID in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-11 (November 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 45-11 (November 2015) . - p.3520-3536 Titre : A Cross-Cultural Comparison of Knowledge and Stigma Associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder Among College Students in Lebanon and the United States Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Rita OBEID, Auteur ; Nidal DAOU, Auteur ; Danielle DENIGRIS, Auteur ; Christina SHANE-SIMPSON, Auteur ; Patricia J.

This study compares knowledge and stigma associated with ASD in a country with limited autism resources, Lebanon, and a country with substantial autism resources, the United States (US). College students in the US (N = 346) and Lebanon (N = 329) completed assessments of knowledge and stigma associated with ASD before and after an online ASD training. Although students in the US exhibited higher overall knowledge and lower stigma towards ASD, certain misconceptions were more apparent in the US than in Lebanon. Participation in the training was associated with decreased stigma and increased knowledge in both countries. Thus, online training may be useful for increasing understanding about ASD internationally.

The effects of coping style, social support, and behavioral problems on the well-being of mothers of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders in Lebanon / Rita OBEID in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 10 (February 2015)

Comparisons to the well-being of 98 mothers of typically developing children were also drawn. Regression analyses showed that disengagement and distraction coping predicted poor well-being, whereas cognitive reframing showed a correlation with better well-being levels. A significant correlation was found between child's behavioral problems and maternal well-being. T-test analyses revealed that mothers of children with ASD differed in terms of coping styles used. Additionally, mothers of children with ASD showed lower levels of perceived social support. Well-being was significantly better for mothers of typically developing children. Study limitations and implications are discussed.

National Prevalence and Correlates of Autism: A Lebanese Cross-Sectional Study / Dahlia SAAB in Autism - Open Access, 8-1 ([01/01/2018])  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism - Open Access > 8-1 [01/01/2018] . - 7 p. Titre : National Prevalence and Correlates of Autism: A Lebanese Cross-Sectional Study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Dahlia SAAB, Auteur ; Monique CHAAYA, Auteur ; Rose-Mary BOUSTANY, Auteur Article en page(s) : 7 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Prevalence  Epidemiology  Lebanon  Risk/protective factors Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: There is a lack of data regarding autism prevalence and factors associated with it in Arab Countries, especially in Lebanon. A study conducted in Beirut and Mount Lebanon governorates estimated the prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) at 1.53% of children 16-48 months attending nurseries. This study aims at obtaining a total national ASD estimate and find factors associated with the disorder. Methods: The methodology used to collect data at a national level consisted of administering the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) for screening and a self-administered questionnaire for associated factors. The final sample included 1,373 children aged 16-48 months. Prevalence estimates and crude and adjusted Odds Ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were generated. Results: ASD national prevalence is 1.48%with 95% CI (0.84, 2.12), with a 1.13 male/female ratio according to the M-CHAT. In the multivariable analysis, having an employed mother in the last year was protective against ASD (OR (95% CI): 0.36(0.14, 0.93)). Presence of delivery complications was a risk factor (3.58 (1.26, 10.15)). First/second born and moral support during pregnancy were protective, whereas mother not having a university education and family history of mental illness were risk factors. These variables were not significant in the multivariable analysis, probably due to small numbers. Conclusion: This is the first study estimating ASD prevalence in the entire Lebanese population, a much needed step to know the magnitude of the disorder. More robust studies are needed to better understand this disorder and factors associated with it in Lebanon and the region that have distinct cultural/environmental characteristics.

Validation of the Lebanese Childhood Autism Rating Scale – Second Edition – High Functioning Version / Leyla AKOURY-DIRANI in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-11 (November 2013)

The participants consisted of 30 children aged 6–18 years among which 24 had a clinical diagnosis of Asperger disorder or Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified and 6 had a clinical diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). All participants were verbally fluent and had IQ estimates of 80 or higher, determined with the Wechsler Nonverbal Scale of Ability (WNV). Forward and backward translation of the CARS2-HF and the Childhood Autism Rating Scale Second Edition, Questionnaire for Parents or Caregivers (CARS2-QPC) was completed before the administration of the scales. The results of this study showed that the Lebanese CARS2-HF has a high degree of internal consistency (.92), inter-rater reliability (.97), and test–retest reliability (.99). Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis determined that individuals with total raw scores below 26 are less likely – to be in the autism spectrum. This instrument can be used in screening and assessing for ASD in high-functioning Lebanese and Arab speaking individuals.
