Child and parent groups were run in parallel, for seven weekly sessions, under the supervision of experienced psychologists. The primary blinded outcome measures addressed change in overall functioning and in severity of the primary anxiety diagnosis after 3 months.Results: Children met diagnostic criteria for 1–6 anxiety disorders (median 3). At end point, both parents and children in the immediate therapy group were more likely to report a reduction in anxiety symptoms. Fidelity of delivery of the group therapy was high, and attendance was 91%.Conclusions: This pilot trial established that children and families were willing to be recruited and randomised, the outcome measures were acceptable, the format and content of the groups were feasible within UK child and adolescent mental health services, the intervention was appreciated by families and attrition was very small.

Managing Repetitive Behaviours in Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial of a New Parent Group Intervention / Victoria GRAHAME in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-10 (October 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 45-10 (October 2015) . - p.3168-3182 Titre : Managing Repetitive Behaviours in Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial of a New Parent Group Intervention Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Victoria GRAHAME, Auteur ; Denise BRETT, Auteur ; Linda DIXON, Auteur ; Helen MCCONACHIE, Auteur ; Jessica LOWRY, Auteur ; Jacqui RODGERS, Auteur ; Nick STEEN, Auteur ; Ann LE COUTEUR, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3168-3182 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Restricted and repetitive behaviour  Parent group intervention  Clinical global impression of improvement  Randomised controlled trial Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Early intervention for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) tends to focus on enhancing social-communication skills. We report the acceptability, feasibility and impact on child functioning of a new 8 weeks parent-group intervention to manage restricted and repetitive behaviours (RRB) in young children with ASD aged 3–7 years. Forty-five families took part in the pilot RCT. A range of primary and secondary outcome measures were collected on four occasions (baseline, 10, 18 and 24 weeks) to capture both independent ratings and parent-reported changes in RRB. This pilot established that parents were willing to be recruited and randomised, and the format and content of the intervention was feasible. Fidelity of delivery was high, and attendance was 90 %. A fully powered trial is now planned.
