Titre : Brief report: Evaluation of an adapted youth version of Parents Taking Action for parents of pre/adolescents with autism spectrum disorder in Colombia Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sandy MAGAÑA, Auteur ; Fabricio BALCAZAR, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.149?154 Mots-clés : adolescents autism spectrum disorders Colombian families Latino parent education preadolescents with autism spectrum disorder puberty sexuality Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the youth version of the program Parents Taking Action in Bogota, Colombia, using a quasi-experimental design. We hypothesized that parents in the treatment groups would improve in levels of knowledge, empowerment, self-efficacy, and use of strategies related to topics of adolescence and sexuality compared to the control group. We recruited 25 Colombian parents of pre/adolescent youth with autism spectrum disorder between the ages of 10 and 17 in Bogota. The intervention included four weekly sessions in which the new content about sexuality and adolescence was delivered. Twelve parents were in the intervention group and 13 were in the control group. Intervention participants significantly improved in Knowledge (t?=?4.37 p?0.001), Self-Efficacy (t?=?7.15, p?0.001), Use of Strategies (t?=?4.29, p?0.001), and Family Empowerment (t?=?3.82, p?0.005) between baseline and follow-up. The control group did not improve on any of the outcome measures, and the mean differences between baseline and follow-up scores were significant between intervention and control groups. The program has potential for high impact as information is scarce and parents do not have resources related to pre/adolescence. The program shows promise as an efficacious tool for community organizations and health providers to support families. Lay abstract We evaluated the efficacy of the youth version of the program Parents Taking Action in Bogota, Colombia. This program aims to provide information, resources, and strategies about topics of puberty, sexuality, and adolescence for parents of preadolescents with autism spectrum disorder. We examined whether parents in the treatment groups would improve in levels of knowledge, empowerment, self-efficacy, and use of strategies compared to the control group. We recruited two groups of Colombian parents of pre/adolescent with autism spectrum disorder between the ages of 10 and 17 in the city of Bogota, Colombia, through a community-based organization. One of the groups received the intervention and the other served as a control group. Parents in the control group received the intervention after the 4-month follow-up. The intervention included four 3-h weekly sessions in which the curriculum with nine topic areas was delivered providing parents with a space to practice strategies, learn from others, and set goals. Parents in the intervention group reported significantly greater knowledge, self-efficacy, use of strategies, and empowerment compared to the control/waitlist group. Parents were also highly satisfied with the content, materials, and peer connections that the program offered. The program has potential for high impact as information is scarce and parents do not have resources related to the complicated developmental stages of pre/adolescence. The program shows promise as an efficacious tool for community organizations and health providers to provide extra support to families of youth with autism spectrum disorder.

Titre : Diagnostic Utility of the ADI-R and DSM-5 in the Assessment of Latino Children and Adolescents Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sandy MAGAÑA, Auteur ; Sandra B. VANEGAS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1278-1287 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : DSM-5 ADI-R Latino ASD Diagnosis Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Latino children in the US are systematically underdiagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD); therefore, it is important that recent changes to the diagnostic process do not exacerbate this pattern of under-identification. Previous research has found that the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) algorithm, based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR), has limitations with Latino children of Spanish speaking parents. We evaluated whether an ADI-R algorithm based on the new DSM-5 classification for ASD would be more sensitive in identifying Latino children of Spanish speaking parents who have a clinical diagnosis of ASD. Findings suggest that the DSM-5 algorithm shows better sensitivity than the DSM-IV-TR algorithm for Latino children.

Titre : Perceptions of Family Problems and Pessimism Among Latina and Non-Latina White Mothers Raising Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kristina LOPEZ, Auteur ; Sandy MAGAÑA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2360-2374 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder Family problems Latina Mothers Resilience Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : To address the limited research on diverse families of children with ASD, we examined the impact of ASD on 46 Latina and 56 non-Latina White mothers from a resiliency perspective. We explored perceptions of family problems, optimism and pessimism among mothers of child with ASD between 1 and 22 years old. Mothers were recruited through support groups and listservs. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted. Results indicated fewer perceived family problems and less pessimism about the child's future among Latina mothers. We found maternal optimism and family cohesion were associated with perceived family problems and mother's pessimism about the child's future. Understanding the impact of ASD among diverse families will aid in developing appropriate services that enhances family strengths.

A secondary aim was to improve child outcomes. Compared to control group, we found significant positive changes in the treatment group in maternal confidence of and frequency in use of EBPs, child social communication and the number of EB services the child received. We found no significant differences for the treatment group in family empowerment or in child challenging behaviors. This RCT presents evidence of an efficacious intervention for Latino children with ASD and their mothers in California and Illinois.

Titre : The development and utilization of a diversity advisory board in an intervention to support social skill development for autistic transition-aged youth Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ed-Dee G WILLIAMS, Auteur ; Matthew J SMITH, Auteur ; Jamie MITCHELL, Auteur ; Ty B TUCKER, Auteur ; Connie SUNG, Auteur ; Kari SHERWOOD, Auteur ; Sarah DABABNAH, Auteur ; Sandy MAGAÑA, Auteur ; Temple LOVELACE, Auteur ; Shanna K KATTARI, Auteur ; Dale OLSEN, Auteur ; Jeff ELKINS, Auteur ; Laura HUMM, Auteur ; Chris STEACY, Auteur ; Edwina RIDDLE, Auteur ; Caleb LIGGETT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2016-2029 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : advisory board community engagement diversity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Recent discourse has identified significant issues surrounding the lack of diversity in autism-related research. However, recent efforts have called for the regular use of diversity advisory boards (DAB) in autism-related research to improve the inclusivity of underrepresented and marginalized groups included in the growing autism scholarship. This article outlines the development and implementation of a DAB to support the design and evaluation of an innovative intervention, WorkChat: A Virtual Workday. Specifically, WorkChat focuses on improving knowledge and practicing conversational skills with virtual customers, coworkers, and supervisors to support workplace interactions for autistic transition-age youth. Here, we share guidelines for developing, utilizing, and maintaining a DAB, as well as recommended practices and future implications for implementing DABs in autism services research while using the WorkChat DAB as a case study. The goal is to support the further use of DABs as a means of significantly improving the inclusion of underrepresented and marginalized identities including racial, gender, and sexual minorities, and individuals with disabilities in autism services research.Lay Abstract Autism research often does not include enough people with different identities such as different races, genders, and sexualities. Sometimes, support for autistic individuals does not help everyone equally. They often work better for white, straight autistic males. This article will talk about how we are trying to make autism research more diverse. We will share how we are using a group of diverse advisors to help with research. We will also talk about how to use these advisor groups in the future for autism research.
