To study the at-risk rate for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) on a parent-report questionnaire in toddlers between the ages of 16-24 months.
6237 toddlers from Kerala, India selected by cluster random sampling were surveyed by community nurses using the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers - Revised (M-CHAT-R) translated to Malayalam and culturally adapted.
5.5% toddlers were at risk on M-CHAT-R and 2.7% on "Best Seven".
M-CHAT-R and its "Best Seven" could be viable community level screening instruments, albeit with further cultural adaptation for a primarily non-English speaking population in India.
在 16-24 个月大的幼儿中,通过父母报告问卷研究自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)的风险率。
通过整群随机抽样,在印度喀拉拉邦选择了 6237 名幼儿,由社区护士使用翻译为马拉雅拉姆语并进行文化调适的改良婴幼儿自闭症检查表修订版(M-CHAT-R)进行调查。
5.5%的幼儿在 M-CHAT-R 上存在风险,2.7%的幼儿在“最佳七个”上存在风险。
M-CHAT-R 及其“最佳七个”可能是可行的社区水平筛查工具,尽管需要进一步进行文化调适,以适应印度主要是非英语国家的人群。
