在导入ASD筛查问卷时，已经发现父母对自闭症特征的解释/报告可能受到文化影响。在目前的研究中，我们的目的是初步评估芬兰父母额定SRS，以确定该措施是否会显示作为一种援助，在筛选的承诺。研究样本包括欧卢大学医院的高功能学龄男性ASD门诊患者（n = 44，年龄11.4 ± 2.3）和年龄匹配的对照组（n = 44，年龄11.8 ± 2.4岁）。内部一致性以及聚合效度和区分效度与前人的研究结果一致。然而，结果表明，SRS手册中公布的临界值可能太高，无法在芬兰使用。我们的研究结果强调了在导入诊断筛查问卷时确定各种文化中的规范范围和临床截止值的重要性，以避免在筛查阶段获得高比例的假阴性，从而有可能使许多儿童没有足够的诊断评估和康复。(C)2014爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
When importing screening questionnaires of ASD, it has been found that parental interpretation/reporting of autistic traits may be culturally influenced. In the current study, our aim was preliminary evaluation of the Finnish parent rated SRS in order to determine whether the measure would show promise as an aid in screening. The study sample consisted of high-functioning school aged male ASD outpatients of Oulu University Hospital (n = 44, age 11.4 +/- 2.3) and age-matched controls (n = 44, age 11.8 +/- 2.4 years). Internal consistency as well as convergent and discriminative validity was in line with previous research. However, the results indicated that the cut-off published in the SRS manual might be too high to be used in Finland. Our results emphasize the importance of determining the normative range and clinical cut-offs in various cultures when importing diagnostic screening questionnaires in order to avoid getting high percentages of false negatives in the screening phase, and thus risk leaving many children without adequate diagnostic evaluation and rehabilitation.(C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
