RESUMO

AIM: The aim of this study was to test the accuracy of two screening instruments in UK Community health services: Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) and Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ) for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A two-stage screening and in-depth assessment procedure, combined with sampling stratification and statistical weighting, allowed the accuracy of the screens to be estimated in the entire population of referred children. METHOD: The study included all referrals of children aged 18 to 48 months to community paediatric and speech and language therapy services in two London districts over a 12-month period between September 2004 and September 2005. Parents of 808 children were approached; screen data were obtained on 543 children (67.2%). A stratified subsample of 120 children received an in-depth assessment for ASD as defined by the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th edition. Community clinician judgement of likely ASD was available for 98 out of the 120 children. RESULTS: The sensitivity and specificity were 64% (95% confidence intervals; range 51-80%) and 75% (63-85%) for the SCQ, and 82% (72-92%) and 50% (33-64%) for M-CHAT. There was no evidence that the area under the curve differed between the two screening instruments. There was also no evidence that clinician judgement of likely ASD differed from either of the screening tests. The screening tests did not perform well to confirm preliminary clinical judgement to refer (in series), nor as an alternative indicator for referral (in parallel). INTERPRETATION: While screening tests may provide useful information, their accuracy is moderate. Screening information in isolation should not be used to make referral decisions regarding specialized ASD assessment.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Chronic Pain is increasingly affecting young people, their quality of life and wellbeing including education, social life and mental health. Current Western approaches to psychological support for Chronic Pain often focus on 'pain management' and learning skills and strategies from professionals, making use of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and psychoeducation approaches in individual and group interventions. As a Paediatric Psychology service, we have trialled groups running over multiple weeks informed by these approaches and experienced low attendance rates. METHOD: This paper describes a feasibility study of an alternative group intervention; the 'Living with Pain group', which combines the 'Journey of Life' (Denborough, 2014) with collective narrative and liberation psychology approaches. RESULTS: Thirty three young people and eight parents / carers attended the intervention. Attendance rates, quantitative and qualitative feedback from one face-to-face group for young people and parents and two online groups for young people showed increased access and acceptability of the group. CONCLUSION: The findings from this study have shown that a 1-day collective narrative group intervention is feasible, suitable and acceptable and has increased access to our group intervention. Future directions include co-creation with young people and families, community engagement to increase accessibility of our groups and developing partnerships to respond to young people's hopes to raise awareness.
