Home language and diagnostic co-morbidity predict neuropsychological evaluation recommendation uptake among low income families

This study is one of the first to examine predictors of recommendation uptake among families living in socioeconomic disadvantage. Families facing language barriers were less likely to access services. Additionally, youth with fewer diagnoses and thus potentially less severe challenges were less likely to have recommendations implemented. Future research should test interventions, such as educational advocacy, to mitigate the impact of these risk factors.

Abstract

This study is one of the first to examine predictors of recommendation uptake among families living in socioeconomic disadvantage. Families facing language barriers were less likely to access services. Additionally, youth with fewer diagnoses and thus potentially less severe challenges were less likely to have recommendations implemented. Future research should test interventions, such as educational advocacy, to mitigate the impact of these risk factors.
