Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Trial

Official title: Promoting Resilience in Teens With ASD

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Interventions for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are almost uniformly costly and time-intensive, blunting dissemination of intervention and stymying opportunities to make scalable impact. This study offers the first pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) of whether a single session intervention, shown to reduce internalizing problems in typically-developing youth, may improve core and co-occuring symptoms of ASD.

Clinical Trial Description

Interventions for core and co-occurring symptoms of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are almost uniformly costly and time-intensive, blunting dissemination of intervention and stymying opportunities to make scalable, population-level impact. One promising solution to this problem is a new class of evidence-based treatments, single-session interventions (SSIs), which have shown remarkable efficacy in treating a range of other developmental psychopathologies. No study to date has examined SSIs in youth with ASD, which, if even marginally effective, could dramatically reduce the cost and expand the public health impact of accessible intervention options for ASD. This study offers the first pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) of whether an SSI shown to reduce internalizing problems in typically-developing youth may improve core and co-occurring symptoms of ASD. ;
