Racial Disparities in a Sample of Inpatient Youth with ASD / Helen M. NICHOLS in Autism Research, 13-4 (April 2020)
[article]
Titre : Racial Disparities in a Sample of Inpatient Youth with ASD Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Helen M. NICHOLS, Auteur ; Sarah DABABNAH, Auteur ; Brittany TROEN, Auteur ; Jessica VEZZOLI, Auteur ; Rajneesh MAHAJAN, Auteur ; Carla A. MAZEFSKY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.532-538 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Black autism spectrum disorder racial differences youth Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Although more than one in 10 youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is admitted to a psychiatric facility before they reach adulthood, the inpatient population is underrepresented in research. Furthermore, Black youth are more likely to be psychiatrically hospitalized, compared to their White counterparts. Yet, prior research has been inconsistent in potential racial differences in ASD symptoms and severity. This study examined differences in the symptom presentation of psychiatrically hospitalized Black and White youth with ASD. Researchers collected data as part of a larger study of youth admitted to one of six US specialized inpatient psychiatric units between 2013 and 2017. We used bivariate and multivariate models to analyze the data. The study included 654 youth diagnosed with ASD, with an average age of 13 years. While bivariate analyses found that Black youth had lower written language and daily living skills and more impaired social affect and inappropriate speech, multivariate regression models suggested that overall ability level and age may be driving these differences. Specifically, the only variables that significantly predicted adaptive functioning (written language, daily living) and behavioral profiles (social affect, inappropriate speech) were verbal ability, IQ, and age. Race was not a significant predictor in any of the models. Cultural diversity and competency are vital to the identification and treatment of ASD clinical care. Thus, understanding the role race may play in early detection and accurate diagnosis is important to improving ASD identification, diagnosis, and treatment. Autism Res 2020, 13: 532-538. (c) 2020 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. LAY SUMMARY: This study examined differences in autism symptoms between Black and White youth in psychiatric hospitals. We found that while it initially appeared that Black and White youth differed in written language and daily living skills, these racial differences were not significant once we accounted for differences in IQ, age, and verbal ability. Our findings suggest that providers should pay greater attention to other potential reasons for racial disparities in autism services.
