We describe the process used to engage diverse communities in ASD research in two community-based research projects—an epidemiologic investigation of 7- to 12-year olds in South Korea and the Early Autism Project, an ASD detection program for 18- to 36-month-old Zulu-speaking children in South Africa. Despite the differences in wealth between these communities, ASD is underdiagnosed in both settings, and generally not reported in clinical or educational records. Moreover, in both countries, there is low availability of services. In both cases, local knowledge helped researchers to address both ethnographic as well as practical problems. Researchers identified the ways in which these communities generate and negotiate the cultural meanings of developmental disorders. Researchers incorporated that knowledge, as they engaged communities in a research protocol, adapted and translated screening and diagnostic tools, and developed methods for screening, evaluating, and diagnosing children with ASD.

WETHERBY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2232-2243 Langues : (en) Mots-clés : Autism Navigator autism spectrum disorder early intervention Early Social Interaction implementation non-profit sector professional development South Africa Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : In low-resource settings, non-profit organisations play an essential role in providing services and support for families with young children with autism. However, resource constraints limit access to quality training in evidence-based interventions. Web-based training may help fill this gap. This study examined the feasibility, acceptability and appropriateness of the web-based Autism Navigator® JumpStart to Coaching in Everyday Activities course for 26 non-profit organisation providers (10 specialists and 16 non-specialists) in South Africa. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used including a post-training survey. Sixteen providers (62%) completed the course over an average period of 5.58 months, with many completing the course during lockdown restrictions, suggesting time as a barrier to course completion. No provider characteristics were related to attrition, nor to the time taken to complete the course. Better English proficiency, higher education levels and more positive attitudes to implementing an evidence-based intervention were associated with the number of attempts needed to pass some learner assessments, and to perceptions of course feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness. Adaptations in the training delivery (using a group format and local group conference calls) and inclusion of South African video clips were identified as potential facilitators to acceptability and appropriateness. Lay Abstract In low-resource settings, non-profit organisations play an essential role in providing services and support for families with young children with autism, including in Africa. However, non-profit organisation service providers may not have access to quality training in proven intervention methods. Web-based or online courses may help to meet this need. In this study, we invited a group of specialist (10) and non-specialist (16) non-profit organisation providers in South Africa to complete a web-based course, Autism Navigator® JumpStart to Coaching in Everyday Activities, a 20-h self-paced course that provides training in an evidence-based parent coaching intervention called Early Social Interaction. We evaluated acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of the training. Of the 26 who enrolled, 16 completed the course (7 specialists and 9 non-specialists). All providers found it difficult to find time to do the course until the lockdown restrictions due to COVID-19, when most completed the course. Those whose first language was not English experienced more difficulties with two of six learner assessments and those who were not clinical specialists had more difficulty with the coaching strategies learner assessment. Most providers rated the course highly feasible, acceptable, and appropriate stating that the course content was very valuable and helpful in equipping them to serve their families. They felt the extensive video clips and regular meetings with a local trainer helped them engage with and understand the material. They suggested that including South African video clips would make the course more relatable. The fact that the course was web-based was identified as a strong benefit, especially during COVID-19 restrictions.

Titre : Feasibility of utilizing autism navigator(R) for primary care in South Africa Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Nola J. CHAMBERS, Auteur ; Petrus J. DE VRIES, Auteur ; Abigail D. DELEHANTY, Auteur ; Amy M. WETHERBY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1511-1521 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Navigator South Africa autism early detection professional development web-based training Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There is a significant research-to-practice gap in early detection of young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) worldwide but particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where expertise is limited and high-quality training is difficult to access. Autism Navigator(R) for Primary Care is a web-based course designed to increase awareness of red flags of ASD in the second year of life and thus promote earlier detection and referral for intervention. It contains extensive video illustrations that offer rapid access to multiple exemplars of ASD red flags. This study examined aspects of feasibility of the Autism Navigator(R) for Primary Care in one LMIC, South Africa. A mixed-methods quasi-experimental design was used to examine relevant professionals' implementation of the course and measure changes in their knowledge of red flags after training. Perceptions of the acceptability, demand, and practicality of the course were explored in focus groups. Sixty-two providers completed the course online with a 94% completion rate. Built-in learner assessment pass rates ranged from 88% to 100%. Second-language English speakers took longer to complete the learner assessments, and professionals with less access to the Internet spent less time in the course. Participants' perceptions of the acceptability, demand, and practicality of the course were mostly positive with some suggestions made for local conditions. Results supported the feasibility of the course in this LMIC with some supports required pertaining to language and Internet access. We propose that this training has the potential to lower the age of detection of ASD in South Africa and other LMICs. Autism Research 2018, 11: 1511-1521. (c) 2018 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. LAY SUMMARY: Professionals in low- and middle-income countries urgently need training to recognize red flags of autism in very young children. The feasibility of utilizing the Autism Navigator(R) for Primary Care course for this training was explored with 62 South African professionals. After training, professionals' knowledge of early red flags improved, and most reported the course important and needed in South Africa. They found the web-based design mostly acceptable, practical, and culturally applicable. The course could help lower the age of autism detection.

Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : COVID-19 caused many autism spectrum disorder caregiver-coaching studies to move to telehealth. Telehealth can increase the diversity of people who take part in research. This matters because most autism spectrum disorder studies have included people who have resources, are White, and live in North America and Europe. When study participants are similar, it is hard to understand which interventions can help different types of people who live in different parts of the world. While telehealth may allow more people to take part in research, it needs to "fit" the local context and consider the "digital divide" because many people around the world have no access to computers and the Internet. This short report describes changes to two research studies that include caregiver coaching based on the Early Start Denver Model in the United States and South Africa. We describe how the local context, including technology and Internet access, guided the telehealth approach. By doing so, we highlight ways to make telehealth available to more people around the world. The pandemic can help us understand how telehealth can "fit" diverse places and support high-quality research. It is important that study changes are tracked and we assess how well the changes work. COVID-19 telehealth changes to caregiver coaching can result in new ways to reach more people around the world.

However, the associations of various individual and contextual risk factors with mental health in the preschool period are incompletely understood, particularly in low- to middle-income countries (LMICs) where multiple risk factors co-exist. To address this gap, we prospectively followed 981 children in a South African birth cohort, the Drakenstein Child Health Study, assessing pre-and postnatal exposures and risk factors. The predictive value of these factors for child mental health (assessed by the Child Behavior Checklist) was modeled using structural equation modeling. We identified two key pathways to greater externalizing behavior: (1) prenatal exposure to substances (alcohol and smoking) directly predicted increased externalizing behavior (? = 0.24, p < 0.001); this relationship was partially mediated by an aspect of infant temperament (negative emotionality; ? = 0.05, p = 0.016); (2) lower socioeconomic status and associated maternal prenatal depression predicted more coercive parenting, which in turn predicted increased externalizing behavior (? = 0.18, p = 0.001). Findings in this high-risk LMIC cohort cohere with research from higher income contexts, and indicate the need to introduce integrated screening and intervention strategies for maternal prenatal substance use and depression, and promoting positive parenting across the preschool period.
