Family-centered care practices in a multidisciplinary sample of pediatric professionals providing autism spectrum disorder services in the United States / Lillian M. CHRISTON in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 20 (December 2015)

The aim of this study was to examine predictors (e.g., the theory of planned behavior, [TPB]) of providing family-centered care (FCC) services to youth with ASD in pediatric professionals from a range of disciplines. A multidisciplinary (e.g., medicine, psychology, education, etc.) sample of professionals (N = 709) who endorsed providing services to youth with ASD in the United States was recruited from online provider listings, listservs, etc. Hierarchical multiple regressions examined the relationship of demographic and TPB predictors to professionals' self-reported FCC practices. Professionals reported a high degree of using FCC in their practice with youth with ASD. Attitudes and perceived behavioral control predicted self-reported FCC practices, while subjective norms did not. Experienced practitioners reported using FCC practices in spite of not having necessarily received FCC training. Discipline differences were evident in rates of reported FCC. The Theory of Planned Behavior is helpful in understanding FCC practices and attention should be given to training professionals in FCC as they work with youth with ASD. Implications and future directions are discussed.

Use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) treatments by parents of children with autism spectrum disorders / Lillian M. CHRISTON in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 4-2 (April-June 2010)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 4-2 (April-June 2010) . - p.249-259 Titre : Use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) treatments by parents of children with autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lillian M. CHRISTON, Auteur ; Barbara J. MYERS, Auteur ; Virginia H. MACKINTOSH, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.249-259 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Complementary Alternative Medicine Treatments Children Parent-report Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Parents of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) may elect to use complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) treatments with their children in place of, or in addition to, conventional treatments. CAM treatments are controversial and understudied and, for most, the efficacy has not been established. The current study (n = 248) examined reports (via an internet survey) from parents of children with an ASD, asking of CAM usage, recommendation sources, expectations, costs, parent-rated assessments of efficacy, and reasons for stopping use of CAMs. Over 70% had tried at least one CAM treatment with their child, and about half were currently using one or more CAMs. Parents entered treatment with high expectations, although they varied considerably in their assessment of whether CAMs helped their child. Odds ratios of parent-rated efficacy give small leaning toward improvement over non-improvement for CAM treatments. The findings highlight the need for methodologically sound research on CAM treatments. Also needed is dissemination about treatment efficacy to help parents and professionals make educated judgments regarding both CAM and routine interventions.
