- ASD prevalence study across Europe: developing a school-based screening approach in the ASDEU projectPublication . García Primo, P.; Schendel, D.; Partner, E.; Rasga, C.; Café, C.; Rogé, B.; Arnaud, C.; Saemundsen, E.; Muratori, F.; Narzisi, A.; Boilson, A.; Oliveira, G.; Fuentes, J.; Poustka, L.; Scattonni, M.L.; Gissler, M.; Sweeny, M.R.; Budisteanu, M.; Kawa, R.; Canal-Bedia, R.; Stefanov, R.; Van Bakel, M.E.; Vicente, A.M.; Posada, M.Objectives: The main objective of the present work is to describe the strategy of the Autism Spectrum Disorder in the European Union (ASDEU) project to estimate the prevalence of ASD in school-aged children (7-9 years) across Europe. The focus of the presentation is on the novel field study strategy and aims to be a reflection on what we have learned regarding standardization of study methods across sites, what has worked well and what could be done differently in the future.

Salomone, E.; Beranová, Š.; Bonnet-Brilhault, F.; Briciet Lauritsen, M.; Budisteanu, M.; Buitelaar, J.; Canal-Bedia, R.; Felhosi, G.; Fletcher-Watson, S.; Freitag, C.; Fuentes, J.; Gallagher, L.; Garcia Primo, P.; Gliga, F.; Gomot, M.; Green, J.; Heimann, M.; Jónsdóttir, S.L.; Kaale, A.; Kawa, R.; Kylliainen, A.; Lemcke, S.; Markovska-Simoska, S.; Marschik, P.B.; McConachie, H.; Moilanen, I.; Muratori, F.; Narzisi, A.; Noterdaeme, M.; Oliveira, G.; Oosterling, I.; Pijl, M.; Pop-Jordanova, N.; Poustka, L.; Roeyers, H; Rogé, B.; Sinzig, J.; Vicente, A.M.; Warreyn, P.; Charman, T.Little is known about use of early interventions for autism spectrum disorder in Europe. Parents of children with autism spectrum disorder aged 7 years or younger (N = 1680) were recruited through parent organisations in 18 European countries and completed an online survey about the interventions their child received. There was considerable variation in use of interventions, and in some countries more than 20% of children received no intervention at all. The most frequently reported interventions were speech and language therapy (64%) and behavioural, developmental and relationship-based interventions (55%). In some parts of Europe, use of behavioural, developmental and relationship-based interventions was associated with higher parental educational level and time passed since diagnosis, rather than with child characteristics. These findings highlight the need to monitor use of intervention for children with autism spectrum disorder in Europe in order to contrast inequalities
