Is your child on the autism spectrum? You can play an important role in research by participating in a free, voluntary, and confidential study evaluating the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on children with autism and their families!
Objective: Researchers at The Ohio State University are seeking to understand the factors that contribute to child and family risk and resiliency during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on the autism population specifically. (Note: This study is recruiting parents only.)
This study might be a good fit if you:
• are over the age of 18-years-old;
• have a child with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) between the ages of 3- and 10-years-old;
• are comfortable reading and answering questions about you and your child in English, and have access to an electronic device;
• currently live in the United States.
If you decide to take part in this study, you would:
• participate in an initial phone screening (~30 minutes);
• complete a series of survey questionnaires designed to understand your child and your family’s experiences (~2 hours total);
• join a researcher for two video interviews meant to discuss your child’s development in-depth (~2 hours total);
Parents who take part in this study will receive:
• two $10 Amazon gift cards to thank them for their time;
• a summary of research findings at the close of the study;
• a list of national resources and support services related to autism.
Your participation could lead to enhanced methods to create, track, and assess treatments for children with ASD and their families!
