Autism Diagnoses Still More Likely in Richer Neighborhoods - Yahoo! News

Poor children with autism are less likely than richer kids to have the condition diagnosed, but this disparity has decreased in recent years, according to a new study.

Researchers analyzed data on children in California and found that the average age of autism diagnosis fell from 5.9 years among children born in 1992 to 3.8 years for those born in 2000.

Of the 4,906,926 children born in California between 1992 and 2000, they found that 18,731 (0.38 percent) were diagnosed with autism. The prevalence of autism in the state increased from 29 per 10,000 children in 1992 to 49 per 10,000 children in 2000.

The study appears in the April issue of the American Sociological Review.

AHRQ Reports Declines in Diabetes Care - HealthLeaders Media

Care for people with diabetes, who are at higher risk for disease-related blindness, limb amputations and kidney failure, has been getting worse rather than better, according to an analysis taken from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's latest National Healthcare Disparities Report .

For example, the agency said, the proportion of low income adults age 40 and older with diabetes who had annual recommended blood sugar levels tested, had their eyes examined for retinopathy and their feet examined for nerve damage and circulation issues declined from 39% to 23% between 2002 and 2007.

For middle-income adults, the situation remained the same, with slightly more than half, 52%, receiving those recommended yearly exams.

Racial disparities in getting these recommended screenings was pronounced. Blacks experienced an 11 percentage point drop, from 43% to 32%. The percentage of Hispanics who had all three exams dropped from 34% to 27%. And among whites, diabetes testing also declined, but by only 4 points, from 43% to 39%.
