We evaluated the integration of the Rapid Interactive screening Test for Autism in Toddlers (RITA-T) model in a community, comparing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) toddlers' demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. Of 394 ASD toddlers, 323 were screened with RITA-T. Those screened were from more deprived areas, traveled farther and were diagnosed earlier. The model improved the diagnosis of ASD in underserved areas.
我们评估了幼儿自闭症快速互动筛查测试(RITA-T)模型在社区中的整合情况,比较了自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)幼儿的人口统计学和社会经济特征。在394名ASD幼儿中,323名接受了RITA-T筛查。接受筛查的幼儿来自更贫困的地区,就医路程更远,且诊断时间更早。该模型改善了服务不足地区的ASD诊断情况。
