European Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 03/10/09
Santosh PJ et al. - The new 3Di short version is less than half as long as the original version and outputs very similar scores. It will be useful to clinicians and researchers for obtaining a dimensional autism assessment in less than 45 minutes.
Methods- Data from 879 children and young people were used.
- In half of the sample (n = 440) reliability analysis was used to identify 3Di items that best measured each dimension of the autism triad.
- This informed the construction of a shortened (53 item) 3Di, which was then validated on subjects not used in the reliability analysis (n = 439).
- This involved comparison with scores from the original 3Di algorithm and, in a subsample (n = 29), with the autism diagnostic interview-revised (ADI-R).
- Agreement of the new shortened 3Di with the 3Di’s original algorithm was excellent in both dimensional and categorical terms.
- Agreement on caseness (27 out of 29) with the ADI-R was also strong.
