Abstract
|
|
|
|
This literature review study systematically identified and analyzed instruments used to diagnose or screen autism spectrum disorder in South Korea. This review synthesized the studies that developed, standardized, or validated autism assessment instruments for Koreans and examined their psychometric and cultural characteristics. After searching for articles published between 1980 and 2021, we identified 18 studies that met our inclusion criteria. First, five instruments were developed in South Korea, and 11 were developed abroad and validated in South Korea. Constructs of the majority of the instruments resembled those of DSM-IV, and instruments could be applied to a wide age range from young toddlers to adults. Second, studies demonstrated that the majority of the instruments have appropriate validity and reliability by reporting the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and internal reliability. Third, among the instruments developed abroad and validated in South Korea, five studies newly calculated or examined the cut-off point, and very few examined the cultural characteristics of Korean participants. Based on the findings, we discuss various implications for developing autism assessment instruments in South Korea.
