Genetic Screens02:46

Genetic Screens

Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which result in visible changes...
Introduction to Developmental Psychology01:27

Introduction to Developmental Psychology

Developmental psychology explores the changes and continuities in human abilities throughout life, encompassing physical, cognitive, linguistic, and social dimensions. Human development is not restricted to growth, but includes aspects of decline, particularly in physical abilities as individuals age. Developmental psychologists seek to understand how people change as they age and how their mental and social skills evolve.Developmental MilestonesA key concept in developmental psychology is...
Intellectual Disability01:29

Intellectual Disability

Intellectual disability (ID) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by deficits in intellectual and adaptive functioning that manifest during the developmental period. This condition encompasses challenges in reasoning, memory, problem-solving, and learning, accompanied by impairments in everyday life skills, such as communication, self-care, and social interactions. Intellectual disability affects approximately 1% of the population in the United States, impacting an estimated 5...
Three Developmental Domains01:29

Three Developmental Domains

Human development is typically examined across three main domains: physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional. These domains represent the significant areas of change and continuity throughout the lifespan, from infancy to late adulthood.
Physical Development
Physical processes, also known as maturation, encompass the biological changes that occur across an individual's life. These changes begin with genetic inheritance and continue through various stages, including growth in height and weight,...
Autism Spectrum Disorder01:19

Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.
Preventive Healthcare Services01:30

Preventive Healthcare Services

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Area of Science:

  • Global Health
  • Developmental Pediatrics
  • Public Health Policy

Background:

  • Limited data exists on child disability prevalence in developing countries.
  • International interest in child disability is growing, necessitating country-specific data.
  • Understanding disability in diverse socioeconomic contexts is crucial for equitable health outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify the prevalence of cognitive, language, sensory, and motor disabilities in children across 16 developing countries.
  • To examine the covariation among different types of child disabilities.
  • To explore the relationship between child disability and the Human Development Index (HDI).

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from the 2005-2007 Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS).
  • Employed a culture-free screening tool to identify children with disabilities.
  • Conducted statistical analyses including deviation contrasts and regression to assess country-level and socioeconomic factors.

Main Results:

  • Developmental disabilities were found to vary significantly by child age and country.
  • Younger children and those in countries with lower standards of living showed higher rates of positive screening for disabilities.
  • Significant associations were observed between child disability prevalence and the Human Development Index.

Conclusions:

  • Child disability is a significant issue in developing countries, with notable variations across age groups and nations.
  • Lower living standards and younger age are risk factors for developmental disabilities.
  • Findings underscore the need for tailored research and policy interventions to address child disability in resource-limited settings.
