Abstract：
This study compares two parent reports, the Mental Synthesis Evaluation Checklist (MSEC) and the Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC), with the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS). The ATEC consists of four subscales, as follows: (1) expressive language, (2) sociability, (3) sensory awareness, and (4) health. The MSEC is complementary to the ATEC in measuring complex language comprehension. The parents of 143 autistic children, from 2 to 22 years of age (mean 6.7 ± 5.1 years), completed the MSEC and the ATEC questionnaires and a clinician assessed their CARS score. The CARS score correlated strongly with all parent reports, the complex language comprehension MSEC (r = 0.60, p < 0.0001), expressive language (r = 0.66, p < 0.0001), sociability (r = 0.58, p < 0.0001), sensory awareness (r = 0.71, p < 0.0001), and health (r = 0.53, p < 0.0001), as well as the total ATEC score (r = 0.75, p < 0.0001). The strongest correlation was between the CARS score and the composite of all five parent-reported scores (total ATEC + MSEC, r = 0.77, p < 0.0001). These results suggest a high fidelity of the MSEC and ATEC parent reports and especially of their composite score, total ATEC + MSEC.
摘要：
这项研究比较了两份家长报告，心理综合评估清单（MSEC）和自闭症治疗评估清单（ATEC），儿童自闭症评定量表（CARS）。ATEC由四个分量表组成，如下：(1)表现性语言，(2)社交能力,（3）感官意识，（4）健康。MSEC在衡量复杂语言理解方面是ATEC的补充。143名自闭症儿童的父母，2至22岁（平均6.7±5.1岁），完成了MSEC和ATEC问卷,临床医生评估了他们的CARS评分.CARS评分与所有家长报告密切相关，复杂语言理解MSEC(r=0.60，p<0.0001)，表达语言（r=0.66，p<0.0001），社交能力(r=0.58，p<0.0001)，感官意识(r=0.71，p<0.0001)，和健康(r=0.53，p<0.0001)，以及ATEC总分（r=0.75，p<0.0001）。最强的相关性是CARS评分和所有五个家长报告的评分的综合之间（总ATEC+MSEC，r=0.77,p<0.0001)。这些结果表明MSEC和ATEC父报告的高保真度，尤其是其综合评分，总ATEC+MSEC。
