Racial/Ethnic Disparities in the Identification of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders
National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities
Abstract
We sought to examine racial and ethnic disparities in the recognition of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs).
Within a multisite network, 2568 children aged 8 years were identified as meeting surveillance criteria for ASD through abstraction of evaluation records from multiple sources. Through logistic regression with random effects for site, we estimated the association between race/ethnicity and documented ASD, adjusting for gender, IQ, birthweight, and maternal education.
