MADDOX, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102450 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Mental health  Community  Training  Autism  Anxiety Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Autistic youth experience high rates of anxiety, which has been treated with modified cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), often integrating exposure therapy. Such anxiety treatments are effective for this population; however, there remains a gap between these evidence-based mental health interventions and their implementation in community mental health (CMH) services where autistic youth receive care. Method This qualitative study conducted semi-structured interviews with four types of community members in the United States: 15 autistic youth with anxiety, 15 caregivers of autistic youth with anxiety, 11 CMH clinicians, and 8 CMH clinic leaders. Participants identified the training needs of CMH clinicians to support the delivery of CBT for autistic youth with anxiety. Results Through inductive thematic analysis, three themes were found: presentation of autism and anxiety, intervention delivery, and training format. Participants highlighted the need for clinician education to understand the varying presentations of autism and co-occurring anxiety and how to effectively deliver a personalized mental health intervention for autistic youth. Clinicians also desired a clinician training program that includes engaging components and offers individualized, ongoing support while the intervention is delivered. Conclusions Findings from this study will inform the development of a clinician training program to deliver CBT modified for autistic youth with anxiety in CMH contexts.
