本研究的目的是确定自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童家庭的医疗费用以及这些费用与家庭总收入和支出的关系。在这项横断面研究中，通过面对面访谈收集了医疗保健支出数据。费用包括每年的诊所访问，药物，行为治疗，交通和住宿费用。还确定了医疗保健费用占家庭总收入和支出的百分比。参与者包括290个在中国哈尔滨医科大学儿童发展与行为研究中心接受治疗的ASD儿童家庭。与2007年省级统计数据相比，城市和农村地区的ASD儿童家庭人均家庭支出分别高出60.8%和74.7%。行为治疗占ASD儿童医疗费用的最大比例（54.3%）。在19.9%的城市家庭和38.2%的农村家庭中，医疗保健费用超过了家庭年总收入。该省大多数家庭（89.3%的城市家庭; 88.1%的农村家庭）报告的医疗保健支出高于该省家庭平均水平。对于有ASD儿童的家庭，医疗保健的经济负担大大高于全省平均水平。
The aim of this study was to determine the health expenses incurred by families with children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and those expenses' relation to total household income and expenditures. In this cross-sectional study, health care expenditure data were collected through face-to-face interviews. Expenses included annual costs for clinic visits, medication, behavioral therapy, transportation, and accommodations. Health care costs as a percentage of total household income and expenditures were also determined. The participants included 290 families with ASD children who were treated at the Children Development and Behavior Research Center, Harbin Medical University, China. Families with ASD children from urban and rural areas had higher per-capita household expenditures by 60.8% and 74.7%, respectively, compared with provincial statistics for 2007. Behavioral therapy accounted for the largest proportion of health expenses (54.3%) for ASD children. In 19.9% of urban and 38.2% of rural families, health care costs exceeded the total annual household income. Most families (89.3% of urban families; 88.1% of rural families) in that province reported higher health care expenditures than the provincial household average. For families with ASD children, the economic burden of health care is substantially higher than the provincial average.
