背景自闭症和其他广泛性发育障碍(pdd)的良好访谈和诊断方法是可用的,但缺乏良好的筛查问卷。目的基于现有的最佳诊断访谈-自闭症诊断访谈-修订版(ADI-R)中的项目,开发和测试一份筛查问卷。方法对160例PDD患者和40例非PDD患者进行自闭症筛查问卷(ASQ)。结果在所有智商水平上,ASQ对PDD和非PDD诊断的区分效度都很好,截断值为15证明最有效。结论ASQ是一种有效的PDD筛查问卷。这项研究得到了医学研究委员会的支持。
Background Good interview and diagnostic measures for autism and other pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs) are available but there is a lack of a good screening questionnaire.Aims To develop and test a screening questionnaire based on items in the best available diagnostic interview - the Autism Diagnostic Interview - Revised (ADI-R).Method A 40-item scale, the Autism Screening Questionnaire (ASQ), was developed and tested on a sample of 160 individuals with PDD and 40 with non PDD diagnoses.Results The ASQ has good discriminative validity with respect to the separation of PDD from non-PDD diagnoses at all IQ levels, with a cut-off of 15 proving most effective. The differentiation between autism and other varieties of PDD was weaker:Conclusions The ASQ is an effective screening questionnaire for PDD.Declaration of interest The study was supported by the Medical Research Council.
