Brookman-Frazee L, et al. - Via a cluster randomized trial conducted in 29 publicly funded outpatient and school-based mental health programs on 202 autism spectrum disorder (ASD) children aged 5 to 13 years, the researchers intended to determine the effect on challenging behaviors across 18 months among children with ASD of training community therapists in an Individualized Mental Health Intervention for ASD (AIM-HI, a package of parent-mediated and child-focused strategies aimed to reduce challenging behaviors in children with ASD who are 5 to 13 years old) and to assess the moderators and mediators of any intervention effects. Competing problem behaviors scale like the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory and Social Skills Improvement System were used supporting the benefits of training therapists in delivering the AIM-HI model to children with ASD receiving publicly funded mental health services.
