Editor’s Introduction to This Issue Saara Terry Grizzell University of Texas Rio Grande Valley On behalf of my co-founders and editorial colleagues, Dr. Roy Chen and Dr. Veronica Umeasiegbu, I am pleased to present the next issue of Contemporary Research in Disability and Rehabilitation (CRDR). This issue contains two articles. In the first article, Autism Spectrum Disorder Screening Practices in the United States and Mexico, Maria Valdez and colleagues present survey results using qualitative data and descriptive statistics to explore the screening and diagnostic practices of 35 professionals (30 in the U.S. and 5 in Mexico) who routinely work with children with ASD. In this study, Valdez and colleagues found many similarities in screening practices between professionals in the U.S. and Mexico. For example, in both the U.S. and Mexico the most frequently reported screening tool was the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT, Robins et al., 2001, 2009). Other similarities included parent involvement, key concerns around language development, a lack of routine screening for ASD, and the screening of children between the ages of 2 to 4 years old. Differences in screening and diagnostic practices involved the professionals engaged in screening for ASD and the referral process in the aftermath of failed ASD screenings. In the second article, Multicultural Counselor Supervision and Perceived Differences on Client Outcomes, Dr. Perez and colleagues present original research exploring the differences in perceptions among counselor supervisors and supervisees about the impact of multicultural supervision upon client outcomes. In this study, sixty-one participants consisted of faculty, counselor supervisors, counselors, and graduate students in counseling programs. This study found that multicultural supervision/competence predicted supervisor perceptions of client outcome, thus highlighting the importance of multicultural supervision and the need to improve training in multicultural competence. With that being said, I hope you enjoy this publication of CRDR. Sincerely, Saara Terry Grizzell, Ph.D., CRC, LVRC, LCDC, LPC Outgoing Editor, CRDR
我很高兴代表我的联合创始人和编辑同事,Roy Chen博士和Veronica Umeasiegbu博士,向大家介绍下一期《当代残疾与康复研究》(CRDR)。本期有两篇文章。在第一篇文章《美国和墨西哥的自闭症谱系障碍筛查实践》中,Maria Valdez和她的同事们用定性数据和描述性统计分析了35名专业人员(美国30名,墨西哥5名)的筛查和诊断实践,这些专业人员通常与自闭症儿童一起工作。在这项研究中,瓦尔迪兹和他的同事发现,美国和墨西哥的专业人员在筛查实践中有许多相似之处。例如,在美国和墨西哥,最常被报道的筛查工具是《幼儿自闭症改良检查表》(M-CHAT, Robins et al., 2001,2009)。其他相似之处还包括父母的参与、对语言发展的主要关注、缺乏对自闭症谱系障碍的常规筛查,以及对2至4岁儿童的筛查。筛查和诊断实践的差异涉及从事ASD筛查的专业人员和ASD筛查失败后的转诊过程。在第二篇文章《多元文化辅导员监督和对来访者结果的感知差异》中,Perez博士及其同事提出了一项原创性研究,探讨了辅导员主管和被辅导员对多元文化监督对来访者结果影响的感知差异。在这项研究中,61名参与者包括教师、辅导员主管、辅导员和咨询项目的研究生。本研究发现,多元文化监管/能力预测了监管者对来访者结果的看法,从而强调了多元文化监管的重要性以及改善多元文化能力培训的必要性。话虽如此,我希望你喜欢CRDR的出版。真诚的,Saara Terry Grizzell博士,CRC, LVRC, LCDC, LPC离职编辑,CRDR

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore screening practices for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Mexico and the United States (U.S.). Methods: Data from a larger study exploring the knowledge, screening, and diagnostic practices of healthcare practitioners from Mexico and the U.S. was used for the current study. The original survey was created by experts in ASD and consisted of 63 questions: 15 demographic questions, 20 questions relating to knowledge of ASD, 11 questions relating to screening practices, and 17 questions relating to diagnostic practices. All surveys were completed by professionals engaging in the screening and diagnosis of ASD. For this study, a total of thirty- five survey responses for the screening portion of the survey (30 from the U.S. and 5 from Mexico) were explored. Qualitative data and descriptive statistics were utilized. Results: Many of the responses relating to screening practices from professionals practicing in Mexico and the U.S. were consistent with best practice guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the Mexican Public Health Guide. Furthermore, many similarities were found in the screening practices of professionals from both countries. Differences in screening practices reported by professionals from Mexico and the U.S. were found in the type of professional involved in the screening process and professional referrals after a failed ASD screening. Additionally, some professionals from both the U.S. and Mexico reported the use of inappropriate screening tools, and the average age reportedly screened was much higher than the current recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics (Hyman et al., 2020). Conclusion: An understanding of the screening practices currently being used in Mexico and the U.S. provides both researchers and clinicians with a better understanding of what is being implemented by different professionals. This study identified areas of strength and areas of weaknesses in the screening process for ASD in both countries. These results can now be used in future studies and programs targeting improved screening processes in Mexico in the U.S. Improved screening processes are important because of the potential to result in an earlier age of diagnosis of ASD and provision of services at a younger age. The latter of which is associated with better outcomes for children with ASD. Keywords: autism spectrum disorder, screening, Mexico, United States.
目的:本研究的目的是探讨墨西哥和美国的自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)筛查实践。方法:数据来自一个更大的研究,探索知识,筛选,并从墨西哥和美国的医疗保健从业人员的诊断实践被用于当前的研究。最初的调查是由自闭症专家创建的,包括63个问题:15个人口统计问题,20个与自闭症知识有关的问题,11个与筛查实践有关的问题,17个与诊断实践有关的问题。所有调查均由从事ASD筛查和诊断的专业人员完成。在这项研究中,总共有35个调查回应作为调查的筛选部分(30个来自美国,5个来自墨西哥)被探讨。采用定性数据和描述性统计。结果:在墨西哥和美国执业的专业人员对筛查实践的许多回应与疾病控制和预防中心(CDC)、美国儿科学会(AAP)和墨西哥公共卫生指南的最佳实践指南一致。此外,两国专业人员的筛选实践也有许多相似之处。来自墨西哥和美国的专业人员在筛查过程中涉及的专业人员类型和ASD筛查失败后的专业转诊中发现了筛查实践的差异。此外,来自美国和墨西哥的一些专业人士报告说,他们使用了不适当的筛查工具,据报道,接受筛查的平均年龄远高于美国儿科学会目前的建议(Hyman et al., 2020)。结论:了解目前在墨西哥和美国使用的筛查做法,可以使研究人员和临床医生更好地了解不同专业人员正在实施的措施。这项研究确定了两国在筛查自闭症谱系障碍过程中的优势和劣势。这些结果现在可以用于未来的研究和项目,目标是改善美国墨西哥的筛查过程。改善筛查过程很重要,因为有可能导致自闭症谱系障碍的早期诊断,并在更年轻的年龄提供服务。后者与自闭症儿童的预后更好有关。关键词:自闭症谱系障碍,筛查,墨西哥,美国

The purpose of this study was to examine the differences between counselor supervisors’ and supervisees’ perceptions of the impact of multicultural supervision on client outcome. Counselor supervisors and supervisees may have differences in how much they believe multicultural factors affect client outcome and this study aimed to determine what differences exist. There were 61 participants in the study consisting of faculty, counselor supervisors, counselors, and graduate students in counseling-related fields. The current study found that multicultural supervision/competence alone predicted supervisor perceptions of client outcome. The findings suggest that training in supervision and multicultural supervision is vital to the professional development of counselors and trainees in counseling- related fields. This training is also necessary because of the impact it has on clients. The implications of this study highlight the need to improve the knowledge of those in counseling-related fields as to the importance of multicultural counseling and competence in training.

There is little research delineating the healthcare and rehabilitation needs of individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) that is based on the perspectives of those individuals themselves. The medical community is largely well-informed about disease progression, symptoms, and treatment of MS, but little is known regarding the barriers and unmet needs that individuals with MS experience in their interaction with healthcare and rehabilitation systems and providers, and in their efforts to maintain healthy, productive, and participatory lives. In this article, we provide a comprehensive summary of the most frequently identified healthcare and rehabilitation needs of individuals with MS based on a review of over 500 articles, from which 29 articles were selected for inclusion as they specifically addressed the needs or unmet healthcare and rehabilitation needs of people with MS. Based on our review, we identified 11 categories of needs, which we discuss in the context of three broad categories, including (a) emotional and psychological support, (b) healthcare and rehabilitation, and (c) transportation, home care, and financial needs. Keywords: multiple sclerosis, health care, priorities, needs, expectations

This study examined whether and how underage drinking (UD) relates with concomitant alcohol use disorder and poor educational attainment (CAUDAPEA). A total of 39,860 participants (25-75 years old), roughly 59% of the 2010 National Survey of Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) sample, were drawn for the study. Correlation and regression analyses were used to address the research question. Demographic characteristics of respondents were analyzed using t-test or Chi-square statistics. Alpha was set at .05 to determine statistical significance. Underage drinking alone was a strong and statistically significant predictor of CAUDAPEA. The simple binary logistic regression model identified was statistically significant: (chi-square = 24.19, df =1, p < .05), (Cox and Snell R2 = 0.001), and (Nagelkerke R2 = 0.015), which suggests that using the Nagelkerke R2, the model explains roughly 1.5% of the variation in CAUDAPEA. The regression coefficient and the Wald statistic show that the effect of having underage drinking history (UDHISTORY) on CAUDAPEA is highly significant (Wald F = 14.44, df = 1, p < .05) with odds ratio = 4.86 indicating that currently legal age drinkers with UDHISTORY were about five times more likely to experience CAUDAPEA than their counterparts without UDHISTORY. When demographic variables (age, gender, race/ethnicity) were added to the model, the identified final multiple logistic regression model was statistically significant, (chi-square = 132.33, df = 10, p < .05), (Cox and Snell R2 = 0.008), and (Nagelkerke R2 = 0.079) which suggests that using the Nagelkerke R2, the model explains roughly 7.9% of the variance in CAUDAPEA, an improvement over the model with UDHISTORY alone. Results suggest different ways of looking at relationships between underage drinking, alcohol use disorder, and educational attainment. Implications for rehabilitation and prevention are discussed.

这项研究调查了未成年人饮酒(UD)是否以及如何与伴随的酒精使用障碍和教育程度低(CAUDAPEA)相关。共有39,860名参与者(25-75岁),约占2010年全国药物使用与健康调查(NSDUH)样本的59%。采用相关分析和回归分析来解决研究问题。调查对象的人口学特征采用t检验或卡方统计进行分析。Alpha值设为0.05以确定统计学显著性。未成年人饮酒是CAUDAPEA的一个强有力且具有统计学意义的预测因子。确定的简单二元logistic回归模型具有统计学意义:(chi-square = 24.19, df =1, p < 0.05), (Cox和Snell R2 = 0.001)和(Nagelkerke R2 = 0.015),这表明使用Nagelkerke R2模型可以解释大约1.5%的CAUDAPEA变异。回归系数和Wald统计结果显示,有未成年饮酒史(UDHISTORY)对CAUDAPEA的影响非常显著(Wald F = 14.44, df = 1, p < 0.05),比值比= 4.86,表明目前法定年龄有UDHISTORY的饮酒者发生CAUDAPEA的可能性是没有UDHISTORY的饮酒者的5倍左右。当将人口统计学变量(年龄、性别、种族/民族)加入模型时,确定的最终多元逻辑回归模型具有统计学意义,(卡方= 132.33,df = 10, p < 0.05), (Cox和Snell R2 = 0.008)和(Nagelkerke R2 = 0.079),这表明使用Nagelkerke R2,该模型解释了大约7.9%的CAUDAPEA方差,比单独使用UDHISTORY的模型有所改进。研究结果表明,研究未成年人饮酒、酒精使用障碍和受教育程度之间关系的方法不同。讨论了对康复和预防的影响。关键词:未成年人饮酒;酒精使用障碍;文化程度低
