The Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) is a psychological questionnaire that evaluates risk for autism spectrum disorder in children ages 16–30 months. The 20-question test is filled out by the parent, and a follow-up portion is available for children who are classified as medium- to high-risk for autism spectrum disorder.
MDAs are now targeted at high-risk populations, specifically non-immune migratory workers who receive repeated courses during the high transmission season. According to government guidelines, piperaquine, chloroquine, or sulfadoxine combined with primaquine can be used for mass administrations. [ 37 ]

The QoL-AGHDA was published in 1999 and was funded by Pharmacia & Upjohn AB, Sweden. [4] The research company that developed the QoL-AGHDA was Galen Research. [5] The measure was originally created for use in UK English, Swedish, Italian, German and Spanish, but later on it was also adapted for the United States, Belgium, the Netherlands, Brazil and Denmark.
The questionnaire is quite brief with 25 questions and, depending on the version, a few questions about how the child is affected by the difficulties in their everyday life. [1] Versions of it are available for use for no fee. The combination of its brevity and noncommercial distribution have made it popular among clinicians and researchers.
