Show abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a lasting impact on mental health, with lingering effects on the healthcare utilization of developmental disorders, such as autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and intellectual disabilities. This study explores changes in developmental disorder healthcare utilization in the Alberta healthcare system before and after the pandemic. Results indicate an overall increase in the healthcare utilization of developmental disorders from 2018 to 2022. The ongoing impact of the pandemic on developmental disorders highlights the value of better surveillance, mental health support, and informed policy decisions to ensure individuals with developmental disorders and their families receive the necessary support and resources.
