Abstract

For autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in adults there are several diagnostic instruments available with a need for consideration of the psychometric properties. This study aimed to conduct a first psychometric evaluation of a new diagnostic ASD instrument, the NIDA (Dutch Interview for Diagnostic assessment of ASD in adults) in 90 adult males without intellectual disability (age 18–65 years) in the Netherlands: 30 with ASD, 30 with a Personality Disorder and 30 nonpatient controls. The interrater agreement ranged from 0.79 to 1.00, the convergent validity including sensitivity and specificity ranged from 0.76 to 1.00, and we observed an adequate concurrent criterion-related validity. These promising findings can serve as foundation for future psychometric NIDA studies in a more diverse population.

荷兰访谈对无智力障碍成年男性自闭症谱系障碍诊断评估的第一个心理测量学特性

摘要

对于成人的自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD)，有几种诊断工具可用，需要考虑心理测量特性。本研究旨在对荷兰 90 名无智力障碍（年龄 18-65 岁）的成年男性（年龄 18-65 岁）：30 名患有 ASD , 30 名患有人格障碍和 30 名非患者对照。评估者间一致性范围为 0.79 至 1.00，包括敏感性和特异性在内的收敛效度范围为 0.76 至 1.00，并且我们观察到了足够的并发标准相关效度。这些有希望的发现可以作为未来在更多样化人群中进行心理测量 NIDA 研究的基础。
