Good news out of the local Academic Autism Spectrum Partnership in Research and Education (AASPIRE), which has been awarded a new research project grant from National Institutes of Health (NIH). According to Christina Nicolaidis the “goal is to develop a set of accessible instruments to measure the outcomes that are most important to autistic adults and then test them in a large prospective cohort”.
The objective of this proposal is to use a [community based participatory research] approach to create and test a package of [patient-reported outcome measures] for evaluating the effectiveness of services interventions for autistic adults across multiple real-world settings.
