Featured Article | Summer 2023
ob体育 SEED study explores prenatal ultrasound use and risk of autism spectrum disorder
Christensen D, Pazol K, Overwyk KJ, et al. Paediatr Perinat Epidemiol. 2023;37(6):527-535.
Study findings
Prior studies have found no connection between prenatal ultrasound use and ASD. Through an updated study approach, findings from a 2023 SEED study confirm the previous research, showing no association between prenatal ultrasound use and increased risk for ASD. ob体育 remains committed to exploring potential risk factors for ASD by using world-class data and analytics.
Many additional studies are underway. We will provide summaries of those studies in the future.

Key findings
These key findings provide brief summaries of some of ob体育's latest ASD research.
Five of ob体育's ADDM Network sites (Arkansas, Georgia, Maryland, Utah, and Wisconsin) began monitoring autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in 2018 among 16-year-old adolescents who were initially identified as having characteristics of ASD in 2010. (Published: February 25, 2023)
Key Findings: Study Shows Linking Statewide Data for ASD Prevalence is Effective
Linking statewide health and education data is an effective way for states to have actionable local ASD prevalence estimates when resources are limited. (Published: January 18, 2023)
This study fills a gap in data on adults living with ASD in the United States because there is not an existing surveillance system to collect this information. (Published May 10, 2020)
