Wei Peng; Jocelyn McKinnon-Crowley; Qian Huang; Bingjing Mao – Health Education & Behavior, 2024
Background: Avoidance of colonoscopy is often associated with fear, embarrassment, and disgust aroused in screening procedures. However, each emotion can be linked to different challenges faced by patients. More research is needed to evaluate and address the causes of these respective emotions. Aim: The purpose of this study was to develop and…

Purpose: A considerable number of screening and diagnostic tools for autism exist, but variability in these measures presents challenges to data harmonization and the comparability and generalizability of findings. At the same time, there is a movement away from autism symptomatology to stances that capture heterogeneity and appreciate diversity.…

Despite the importance of identifying children with developmental language delay, no accurate screening instruments are available for 3-year-olds. The aim of the present study is to compare the accuracy of the General Language Screen (GLS), focusing on receptive and expressive language and intelligibility with the accuracy of the VTO Language…

Michael Terner; Sandra Israel-Yaacov; Ofer Golan – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition, characterized by altered social communication and repetitive behavior. Typically diagnosed in early childhood, screening and diagnosis at a later age can be challenging, particularly in girls who exhibit a wider range of behaviors and characteristics. This study aimed to examine the Childhood Autism…

Altena, Allard J.; Spijker, René; Leeflang, Mariska M. G.; Olabarriaga, Sílvia Delgado – Research Synthesis Methods, 2021
When performing a systematic review, researchers screen the articles retrieved after a broad search strategy one by one, which is time-consuming. Computerised support of this screening process has been applied with varying success. This is partly due to the dependency on large amounts of data to develop models that predict inclusion. In this…

Emily R. Forcht; Ethan R. Van Norman – Psychology in the Schools, 2024
The present study compared the diagnostic accuracy of a single computer adaptive test (CAT), Star Reading or Star Math, and a combination of the two in a gated screening framework to predict end-of-year proficiency in reading and math. Participants included 13,009 students in Grades 3-8 who had at least one fall screening score and end-of-year…

Background: Videofluoroscopic swallow studies (VFSS) are multidisciplinary swallowing assessments led by speech-language therapists (SLTs). The purpose of oesophageal screening in VFSS is to guide further diagnostic assessment and treatment of possible oesophageal abnormalities. Yet, internationally standard protocols and clinical pathways for…

Kelly J. Williams; Christina Novelli – Grantee Submission, 2025
There is a strong connection between word-reading and spelling development. Students' spelling can provide insight into their word-level reading skills and inform intensive reading interventions delivered within a data-based individualization framework. The purpose of this article is to describe the linguistic knowledge bases that connect word…

Vermeirsch, Julie; Verhaeghe, Liedewij; Casaer, Alexandra; Faes, Fran; Oostra, Ann; Roeyers, Herbert – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
This study estimated ASD prevalence in a cohort of 3-year-old very preterm children (N = 55) and investigated the usefulness of parent-reported ASD screeners and the ADOS-2. 12.7% received an ASD diagnosis by clinical judgment based on DSM-5 criteria. An additional 14.5% were classified as having a broader-autism-phenotype outcome. Sensitivity…
