        This study aimed to assess variation in parent beliefs about causes of learning and developmental problems in U.S. children with autism spectrum disorder, using data from a nationally representative survey. Results showed that beliefs about a genetic/hereditary cause of learning/developmental problems were most common, but nearly as many parents believed in exposure causes. Forty present of parents had no definite causal beliefs. On multivariate analysis, parents who were non-White, publicly insured or poor were more likely than other parents to endorse exposure causes, or less likely to endorse genetic causes, compared to other parents. Further research should assess how these beliefs modify health care quality or services use.
        Este estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar la variación en las creencias de los padres sobre las causas de los problemas de aprendizaje y desarrollo en los niños estadounidenses con trastorno del espectro autista, utilizando datos de una encuesta representativa a nivel nacional. Los resultados mostraron que las creencias sobre una causa genética/hereditaria de problemas de aprendizaje/desarrollo fue la más común, pero algunos padres creen en las causas de exposición. El cuarenta por ciento de los padres no tenían creencias causales definitivas. En el análisis multivariado, los padres que no eran blancos, con seguro público o pobres eran más propensos que otros padres para endosar causas de exposición, o menos propensos a apoyar causas genéticas, en comparación con otros padres. Las investigaciones futuras deberían evaluar cómo estas creencias modifican la calidad o los servicios de asistencia de uso sanitario.
        Cette étude visait à évaluer la variation des croyances des parents sur les causes des troubles d'apprentissage et de développement chez les enfants américains ayant un trouble du spectre de l'autisme, en utilisant les données d'une enquête nationale représentative. Les résultats ont montré que les croyances au sujet d'une cause génétique/héréditaire des problèmes d'apprentissage/de développement étaient les plus courantes, mais presque autant de parents croyaient aux causes liées à l'exposition à des substances toxiques. Quarante pourcent des parents n'avaient pas de croyances causales précises. Selon une analyse multivariée, les parents qui étaient non-caucasiens, qui étaient assurés publiquement ou qui avaient un faible revenu étaient plus susceptibles que les autres parents d'endosser les causes liées à l'exposition, ou moins susceptibles d'approuver les causes génétiques, par rapport aux autres parents. Des recherches futures devraient évaluer comment ces croyances modifient la qualité ou l'utilisation des services de soins de santé.
