Description

Luiz Jupiter Carneiro de Souza leads a 2026 protocol for a scoping review on using public health databases to spot autism earlier. Late diagnosis harms development and raises system costs, yet routine records may hold early clues that services overlook.

Following Joanna Briggs Institute guidance, the team will search six major databases plus thesis collections, with a librarian-checked strategy and no language or country limits. Two reviewers will screen and extract data independently, then group studies by likeness. Only primary studies using public databases for early detection qualify. Ethics approval is not needed for published data, and results will travel through conferences and journals. The protocol is registered on the Open Science Framework.
