这项流行病学研究估计的患病率特定语言障碍（SLI）在单语英语幼儿园的儿童。从上中西部农村、城市和郊区的分层整群抽样中，筛选了7,218名儿童。语言筛查失败率为26.2%。筛选失败的儿童和类似数量的对照组随后被给予诊断组合（n = 2，084），该组合使用通用诊断标准提供SLI的诊断。结果提供了估计的总患病率为7.4%。男孩的患病率估计为8%，女孩为6%。在不同种族/文化背景的儿童中发现的患病率变化;然而，这些背景变量与父母的教育程度相关，这也与SLI相关。29%的儿童被确定为SLI的父母报告说，他们以前被告知，他们的孩子有一个语音或语言的problem.The患病率估计值下降在最近的估计SLI，但表明这种情况是更普遍的女性比以前报道。此外，这些儿童的临床识别率在吸毒者中仍然很低。
This epidemiologic study estimated the prevalence of specific language impairment (SLI) in monolingual English-speaking kindergarten children. From a stratified cluster sample in rural, urban, and suburban areas in the upper midwest, 7,218 children were screened. The language screening failure rate was 26.2%. Children who failed the screening and a similar number of controls were then administered a diagnostic battery (n = 2,084) that provided for a diagnosis of SLI using common diagnostic standards. Results provided an estimated overall prevalence rate of 7.4%. The prevalence estimate for boys was 8% and for girls 6%. Variation in prevalence wets found among children of different racial/cultural backgrounds; however, these background variables were found to be correlated with parental education, which was also associated with SLI. The parents of 29% of the children identified as SLI reported they had previously been informed that their child had a speech or language problem.The prevalence estimates obtained fell within recent estimates for SLI, but demonstrated that this condition is more prevalent among females than has been previously reported. Also, the clinical identification of these children remains low among kindergarteners.
