To determine whether a subset of items from the Developmental Behavior Checklist (DBC) could be selected to construct a reliable autism screening tool.
A 29-item scale-the Developmental Behavior Checklist-Autism Screening Algorithm (DBC-ASA)-was developed by using items from the DBC and evaluated in a sample comprising 180 children who met criteria for autism and 180 controls matched for age, sex, and IQ range.
This study found that the DBC-ASA has good validity in discriminating young people (4-18 years) with autism and IQ ranging from normal to severe intellectual disability from others using a cutoff score of 17.
The DBC-ASA is an effective autism screening questionnaire for at-risk young people, including those with intellectual disability.
确定是否可以从发育行为检查表（DBC）中选择一组项目来构建一个可靠的自闭症筛查工具。
通过使用DBC中的项目开发了一个包含29个条目的量表——发育行为检查表-自闭症筛查算法（DBC-ASA），并在一个由180名符合自闭症标准的儿童和180名年龄、性别和智商范围相匹配的对照组儿童组成的样本中进行评估。
本研究发现，DBC-ASA在区分4至18岁、智商从正常到重度智力残疾的自闭症青少年与其他人时具有良好的效度，其临界值为17。
DBC-ASA是一种针对高危青少年（包括智力残疾青少年）的有效自闭症筛查问卷。
