Autism and General Developmental Screening Practices Among Primary Care Providers

Conclusion: Overall, general developmental and autism-specific screenings are not being consistently administered across recommended WCVs in primary care practices. Provider self-efficacy in autism identification and screening and previous autism training were associated with increased autism screening. As such, these results suggest a need for increased training and dissemination of information on screening implementation for practicing PCPs.
