Une revue internationale des mesures d'évaluation des connaissances sur l'autisme

Aperçu: G.M.
Cette étude a mené une revue systématique de la littérature occidentale et internationale pour examiner les mesures utilisées pour évaluer les connaissances sur le trouble du spectre de l'autisme et a identifié 44 mesures uniques de connaissances dans 67 études menées dans 21 pays. Les mesures utilisées dans chaque étude ont été évaluées en termes de force psychométrique. Sur les 67 études examinées, seulement 7% ont été évaluées comme utilisant une mesure avec un soutien psychométrique fort par rapport à 45% qui ont été évalués comme utilisant une mesure sans soutien psychométrique rapporté. .

Abstract

Autism spectrum disorder-specific knowledge deficits contribute to current disparities in the timing and quality of autism spectrum disorder services throughout the United States and globally. This study conducted a systematic review of Western and International literature to examine measures used to assess autism spectrum disorder knowledge. This review identified 44 unique autism spectrum disorder knowledge measures across 67 studies conducted in 21 countries. Measures used in each study were evaluated in terms of psychometric strength. Of the 67 studies reviewed, only 7% were rated as using a measure with strong psychometric support compared to 45% that were rated as using a measure with no reported psychometric support. Additionally, we examined content overlap and subdomains of autism spectrum disorder knowledge assessed (e.g. etiology, symptoms) and cross-cultural adaptation procedures utilized in the field. Based on these findings, the need for a cross-culturally valid and psychometrically sound measure of autism spectrum disorder knowledge is discussed and recommendations for improving current assessment methods are presented, including suggestions for measure subdomains.
