TL;DR: The KCAHW questionnaire is a reliable tool for assessing knowledge of health workers about childhood autism and would be a useful tool in improving early recognition of features of autism among affected children in Sub-Saharan African and other developing countries of the world.

TL;DR: This study is seen as a first step leading towards a much wider study involving somatizations in a psychodiagnostic endeavor, as well as throwing more light into the problem of classification of psychiatric disorders in Nigeria.

TL;DR: KCA as measured by scores on KCAHW questionnaire was significantly associated with age group distribution of the healthcare workers, with those age group of fourth decades and above more likely to have higher mean score and previous experience of managing children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and the correlates of KCA may help in selection of those tertiary healthcare workers that best fit the role of trainers.

TL;DR: Three specific constraints on child protection are examined in this article, namely poverty, HIV/AIDS infection, and war, which use their experience in Africa to raise issues of resilience and adaptation, dangers to child protection programs, and possible solutions.

TL;DR: Assessment of the opinions of healthcare workers in Nigeria on aspects of etiology, treatability and preventability of childhood autism finds that changing the negative opinions or beliefs of the healthcare workers about childhood autism should encourage appropriate help-seeking behavior among parents of children with ASD who may be seeking advice or information from the healthcare worker.
