“…Guo et al (2011: 715), for example, report on the clinical results of a translation and validation of the Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire (ASSQ) into Mandarin but do not report on the process beyond noting that the tool was translated by native-speaking experts who made “minor changes” to ensure the translation was “more culturally appropriate.” Similarly, Canal-Bedia et al (2010), in a study of the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) in Spain, write that “some modifications were made to items 3, 5, and 23, after the short pilot study and prior to the validity study, in order to overcome cultural differences linked to the use of different toys in Spain (including new examples, and Spanish colloquialisms), but do not describe how those decisions were made, or how differences in types of toys between Spain and the U.S. constitute “cultural” difference.…”

In order to connect with families and influence treatment trajectories, outreach materials should address cultural perceptions of the condition, its causes, and post-diagnostic care. This paper describes the cultural adaptation and translation of the Autism Speaks First 100 Days Kit into Korean for the purpose of improving autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis, assessment, and interventions. The goal of this study is to describe a methodology for future cross-cultural adaptations and translations of outreach materials on ASD, using the Autism Speaks First 100 Days Kit as an exemplar. The research involved two stages of qualitative interviews: unstructured individual and group interviews with 19 Korean child health and education professionals in Queens, NY, followed by structured cultural consensus modeling interviews with 23 Korean mothers, with and without children with ASD, in Queens, NY and the greater Washington, DC area. We conclude that a systematic approach to cultural translation of outreach materials is feasible. Cultural consensus modeling yielded information about numerous barriers to care, had a demonstrable effect on the translation of the kit, and was efficient when employed with coherent segments of a relatively homogeneous population and focused on a single condition.

“…The questionnaire has been validated as a screening tool for ASD symptoms by studies in northern Europe and UK since the late 1990s [3,22-26], more recently in China [27], and in Norway using data from the first wave of the Bergen Child Study (BCS) [28]. The BCS sub-study, which included a sample of children with neurological disorders, showed that more than 90% of the children who received an ASD diagnosis according to the Diagnostic Interview for Social and Communication Disorders (DISCO) [29] were also scored above the 98 th percentile on the ASSQ by parents and/or teachers, corresponding to a sensitivity of 0.91 and specificity of 0.86 [28].…”

BackgroundThe aims of the present study were to assess symptoms associated with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children with neurological disorders as reported by parents and teachers on the Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire (ASSQ), as well as the level of agreement between informants for each child.MethodsThe ASSQ was completed by parents and teachers of the 5781 children (11–13 years) who participated in the second wave of the Bergen Child Study (BCS), an on-going longitudinal population-based study. Out of these children, 496 were reported to have a chronic illness, including 99 whom had a neurological disorder. The neurological disorder group included children both with and without intellectual disabilities.ResultsChildren with neurological disorders obtained significantly higher parent and teacher reported ASSQ scores than did non-chronically ill children and those with other chronic illnesses (p<.01; ES = .50-1.01), and 14.1% were screened above the positive cutoff score for ASD according to their combined parent and teacher ASSQ scores. Parent/teacher agreement over ASSQ scores for children with neurological disorders was moderate to high for the total score and for three sub scores generated from a factor analysis, and low to moderate for single items.ConclusionsThe ASSQ identifies a high rate of ASD symptoms in children with neurological disorders, and a large number of children screened in the positive range for ASD. Although a firm conclusion awaits further clinical studies, the present results suggest that health care professionals should be aware of potential ASD related problems in children with neurological disorders, and should consider inclusion of the ASSQ or similar screening instruments as part of their routine assessment of this group of children.

ÖZETAmaç: Otizm Spektrum Tarama Ölçeği'nin Türkçe uyarlamasının (OSTÖ-TR) psikometrik özelliklerini değerlendirmek ve yaygın gelişimsel bozukluk (YGB) olguları için en iyi kesme puanını tespit etmek amaçlanmıştır.Yöntem: Çalışmaya 6-18 yaş arasında olup DSM-IV-TR'ye göre yaygın gelişimsel bozukluk (YGB), obsesif kompulsif bozukluk (OKB), dikkat eksikliği ve hiperaktivite bozukluğu (DEHB) tanısı olan çocuklar ile herhangi bir psikiyatrik yakınması ya da öyküsü olmayan sağlıklı kontrol (SK) olguları dahil edilmiştir. Katılımcıların ebeveynlerinden OSTÖ-TR'yi doldurmaları istenmiştir. Toplam 268 çocuğun (51 YGB, 67 DEHB, 50 OKB, 100 SK) ebeveyni OSTÖ-TR'yi doldurmuştur. OSTÖ-TR'nin iç tutarlılık katsayısı ve test-yeniden test güvenirliği değerlendirilmiş, ROC analizi ile kesim puanı belirlenmiştir.Bulgular: OSTÖ-TR toplam puanları YGB, DEHB, OKB ve SK gruplarında sırası ile 27.96±9.5, 16.39±10.5, 13.14±9.9 ve 5.86±6.0 saptanmıştır. Ölçeğin iç tutarlılık Cronbach alfa değeri 0.86, test-yeniden test güvenirlik katsayısı r=0.98 bulunmuştur. YGB grubunda OSTÖ-TR toplam puanları diğer gruplardan yüksek saptanmıştır (p<0.001). ROC analizi ile OSTÖ-TR toplam kesme puanı 16 alındığında eğri altında kalan alan 0.97 saptanmış, ölçek en yüksek duyarlılık (%94.1), özgüllük (%89.0) ve tanısal kesinlik (%90.7) ile YGB grubunu SK grubundan ayırt etmiştir.Sonuç: Bu pilot çalışmamız OSTÖ-TR'nin güvenilir bir araç olduğunu ve YGB olgularını SK'den başarılı bir şekilde ayırt edebildiğini, böyle-likle de Türk toplumunda okul çağı çocuklarında tarama aracı olarak kullanılabileceğini göstermiştir.Anahtar Sözcükler: Yaygın gelişimsel bozukluklar, Otizm Spektrum Tarama Ölçeği, geçerlik, güvenirlik SUMMARY The Psychometric Properties of Turkish Version of Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire in Children aged 6-18 yearsObjective: The objective of this study is to determine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire (ASSQ-TR) and to find the best cutoff score for Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) cases.Method: Children between 6 to 18 years old with diagnoses of PDD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) were included. The healthy control (HC) group was recruited from children who did not have any psychiatric complaints or history. Furthermore, parents of 268 children filled the ASSQ-TR. Of the children, 51 were PDD, 67 were ADHD, 50 were OCD, and 100 were HC. In order to show the reliability of the ASSQ-TR, Cronbach's alpha values and test-retest were evaluated. ROC analyses was carried out to show concurrent validity and to determine the cutoff score.Results: The Cronbach's alpha of ASSQ-TR is 0.86, while the testretest reliability is r: 0.98. Total ASSQ-TR scores of children with PDD (27.96±9.5) were significantly higher than other groups (p<0.001). ROC analysis of ASSQ-TR showed the area under curve to be 0.97 with a cutoff of 16, having the maximum sensitivity (94.1%), specificity (89.0%), and 90.7% diagnostic accuracy of PD...

Validation of the Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire, Mandarin Chinese Version (CH-ASSQ) in Beijing, China

Abstract: Our pilot data suggest that CH-ASSQ successfully differentiates clinically diagnosed ASD patients from unaffected controls, as well as from patients with ADHD and COS. The instrument might therefore be useful for screening for ASD in urban Mandarin Chinese-speaking populations.
