Method: Papers were identified through five electronic databases based on 15 keywords and were included if they met the following criteria: published in English, described the implementation of parent-report instruments, and included children with neurological impairments (either in the report or a related study population). Results: In total, 1220 relevant abstracts were screened and 22 full-text articles were evaluated. The following six parent-report instruments met the inclusion criteria: (1) Screening Tool of Feeding Problems applied to children, (2) Paediatric Eating Assessment Tool, (3) Paediatric Assessment Scale for Severe Feeding Problems, (4) Montreal Children's Hospital Feeding Scale, (5) Children's Eating Behaviour Inventory, and (6) Behavioural Paediatric Feeding Assessment Scale (BPFAS). Based on comprehensive psychometric testing and consistently good results, the BPFAS was considered the most valid and reliable instrument. The BPFAS also showed good clinical applicability because it was readily available, required a short administration time, and used a simple scoring system. Interpretation: We reviewed the available parent-report instruments for assessing feeding difficulties in children with neurological impairments. The BPFAS had the best psychometric properties and clinical applicability. What this paper adds: Six parent-report instruments were suitable for assessing feeding in children with neurological impairments. The Behavioural Paediatric Feeding Assessment Scale (BPFAS) has the strongest psychometric properties. The BPFAS also has good clinical applicability. © 2018 Mac Keith Press}, note = {cited By 1}, keywords = {Assessment of Humans, Autism, Behavioural Paediatric Feeding Assessment Scale, Caloric Intake, Child Behaviour, Child Parent Relation, Childhood Disease, Children, Children's Eating Behaviour Inventory, Complication, Construct Validity, Content Validity, Criterion Related Validity, Cystic Fibrosis, Eating Disorder, Enalapril Maleate, Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorder, Esophagus Atresia, Feeding, Feeding and Eating Disorders, Feeding Behavior, Feeding Difficulty, Food Intake, Human, Nervous System Diseases, Neurologic Disease, Nutritional Assessment, Parents, Pediatric Assessment Scale for Severe Feeding Problem, Pediatric Eating Assessment Tool, Predictive Value, Preschool, Preschool Child, Priority Journal, Procedures, Psychology, Psychometrics, Psychometry, Quality of Life, Receiver Operating Characteristic, Review, Scoring System, Self Disclosure, Sensitivity and Specificity, Syndrome CHARGE, Systematic Review, Test Retest Reliability}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } Aim: This study aimed to review the psychometric properties and clinical application of parent-report instruments that assess feeding difficulties in children with neurological impairments.

Multiple factors have been identified as causes of autism spectrum disorder. Many studies indicated genetic as the main risk factor, but environmental risk factors are also seen as contributing factors. Exposure to environmental pollutants such as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can occur as early as in the mother’s womb. The main concern of EDCs in food packaging are Bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates. The objectives of this study are to develop and validate a questionnaire for the assessment of habitual usage of plastic-based food contact materials (FCM) as a proxy for exposure to this group of EDCs. Material and Methods: The questionnaire developed by organising a focus group discussion among experts. An interview-guided pilot study was then done to 250 respondents for construct validation process. In the validation process, test-retest study for reliability, Cronbach alpha for internal consistency, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were done. Results: The questionnaire achieved kappa value ranged between 0.800 to 0.900 for knowledge, 0.610 to 0.815 for perception and 0.607 to 1.000 for self-care product section.
