Abstract:
We aimed to screen children aged 18-48 months in the general population of nine Russian regions for risk of mental, behavioral and developmental disorders (MBDDs) including autism spectrum disorders (ASD) using an original screening tool. The prevalence of the risk for MBDDs is 1307:10,000 (13.07%), the prevalence of clinically verified cases of MBDDs is 151:10,000 (1.51%), whereas the prevalence of ASD among them is 18:10,000 (0.18%). Basing on our results, the screening procedures are already integrated into the Russian primary care system since the end of 2019. Screening of the risk for MBDDs including ASD in Russia among children in the general pediatric population is a promising area of preventive medicine.
