“…Screening procedures are recognized as the most cost-effective population-wide preventive strategies for reducing the societal burden of mental illnesses [ 9 , 10 ]. Although the number of studies focusing on epidemiological screening for mental health issues among children has risen in the last decades [ 11 , 12 ], the early detection and epidemiology of MBDDs in young children remain insufficiently investigated [ 13 , 14 ].…”

The present research aimed at the comparative analysis of studies on early detection and epidemiology of mental disorders in young children in Russia and other countries. Epidemiological data are presented for mental, behavioral and developmental disorders (MBDDs), including autism spectrum disorders (ASD), in children aged 1848 months in general child population in nine large Russian regions. The prevalence of the risk for MBDDs is 1307:10,000 (13.07%), the prevalence of clinically verified cases of MBDDs is 151:10,000 (1.51%), and the prevalence of ASD among them is 18:10,000 (0.18%). The average estimations are close to that obtained by Belarusian, Danish, and China investigators among corresponding national populations, but lower than estimations in US. The differences are due to the different methodological approaches to epidemiological estimations of the prevalence, including clinical, psychometrical, and other evaluations. The screening of the risk for MBDDs, including ASD in Russia among children in the general pediatric population is a promising area of preventive medicine.

“…Screening for MNSDs in developing world youth is justified by the large and growing vulnerable population of C&A in LMICs, the high prevalence of untreated or badly treated MNSDs in this cohort [26], the unjust stigmatization and cruel treatment of individuals suffering from these disorders [27][28][29], and the existence and availability of promising treatments for MNSDs [30,31]. Screening procedures are overwhelmingly recognized as some of the most cost-effective preventive population-wide public health strategies for reducing societal burden and costs related to disease and disability [32][33][34][35]. In fact, one of the Grand Challenges in Global Mental Health [20] recommends screening C&A for MNSDs, adapting such screening for local contexts, and incorporating it into primary health care as a part of a core package of services.…”

The ethical, social, and cultural dimensions of screening for mental health in children and adolescents of the developing world

et al. 2020

Despite their burden and high prevalence, mental health disorders of children and adolescents remain neglected in many parts of the world. In developing countries, where half of the population is younger than 18 years old, one of every five children and adolescents is estimated to suffer from a mental health disorder. It is then essential to detect these conditions through screening in a timely and accurate manner. But such screening is fraught with considerable ethical, social, and cultural challenges. This study systematically identifies, for the first time, these challenges, along with potential solutions to address them. We report on the results of an international multi-and inter-disciplinary three-round Delphi survey completed by 135 mental health experts from 37 countries. We asked these experts to identify and rank the main ethical, social, and cultural challenges of screening for child and adolescent mental health problems in developing nations, and to propose solutions for each challenge. Thirty-nine significant challenges emerged around eight themes, along with 32 potential solutions organized into seven themes. There was a high degree of consensus among the experts, but a few interesting disagreements arose between members of the panel from high-income countries and those from low-and middle-income nations. The panelists overwhelmingly supported mental health screening for children and adolescents. They recommended ensuring local acceptance and support for screening prior to program initiation, along with careful and comprehensive protection of human rights; integrating screening procedures into primary care; designing and implementing culturally appropriate screening tools, programs, and follow-up; securing longterm funding; expanding capacity building; and task-shifting screening to local non-specialists. These recommendations can serve as a guide for policy and decision-making, resource allocation, and international cooperation. They also offer a novel approach to

Image processing methods for computer-aided screening for disease

Screening for disease has been a widely accepted practice in healthcare since the twentieth century. Nowadays, in most developed countries we can find organized screening programs in different types of cancer (breast, cervical and colorectal are the most common) and for antenatal and newborns. Two clinical fields where the potential benefits of screening are very promising and have received worldwide attention are eye diseases, like diabetic retinopathy or glaucoma, and skin diseases, like melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer.
