Abstract |
To study the at-risk rate for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) on a parent-report questionnaire in toddlers between the ages of 16-24 months. 6237 toddlers from Kerala, India selected by cluster random sampling were surveyed by community nurses using the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers - Revised (M-CHAT-R) translated to Malayalam and culturally adapted. 5.5% toddlers were at risk on M-CHAT-R and 2.7% on "Best Seven". M-CHAT-R and its "Best Seven" could be viable community level screening instruments, albeit with further cultural adaptation for a primarily non-English speaking population in India. |
