Telepsychiatry in Children: Diagnostic Evaluation of Autism Spectrum Disorder

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Diagnostic test
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder recognized as a major national cause in 2012. The French Autism Plan 2018-2022 emphasizes early diagnosis and intervention for better cognitive and behavioral outcomes. The COVID-19 pandemic complicates the use of the ADOS-2 diagnostic tool due to mask-wearing and distancing requirements. To address this, the Brief Observation Symptoms of Autism (BOSA) has been adapted for remote assessment. The BOSA, translated into French, is recommended alongside the Autism Diagnostic Interview -Revised (ADI-R) for complementary diagnostic algorithms. No similar projects have been undertaken in France or Canada.

Treatments
Experimental: Remote Diagnosis Arm
Remote Diagnostic Arm (Teleconsultation):~First Teleconsultation (V1): A child psychiatrist or psychologist specializing in ASD conducts the ADI-R (short version) interview with the parents or legal guardian via teleconsultation. The professional will score the items from the algorithm. After the consultation, the professional completes a questionnaire assessing the technical aspects of the remote interview (e.g., video quality, connection stability).~Second Teleconsultation (V2): During the BOSA remote assessment, the professional sends the parent/caregiver instructions and a video link. The parent watches the video and follows guidance on how to position themselves and the child for optimal visibility. The parent then carries out the BOSA activities under supervision. The professional observes the child's behavior and provides time guidance. Two questionnaires are completed: one on the technical aspects of the consultation and the second on parent-child interaction.
No_intervention: In person Arm
In-person Arm (as usual) :~Visit V0 (In-person ADI-R): The ADI-R interview is conducted in person by a psychiatrist or psychologist.~Visit V3 (In-person ADOS-2): A different randomly assigned professional will perform an in-person ADOS-2 evaluation.
