About this study

Official title: Parent Feedback Intervention Study: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study is to use a randomized controlled trial to test the effectiveness of parent coaching sessions using video-based feedback, compared to the sessions without the use of video-based feedback on parent strategy use.

Read the detailed description

This study is a randomized controlled trial of video-based feedback interventions for the parents of young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In the beginning of the study, each participant will be randomized to the video-based feedback condition (treatment condition) or standard care procedure (control condition). All participants will be asked to implement the strategies taught during the sessions in the home environment (e.g., following the child's lead, sitting face-to-face). Participants randomized into the video-based feedback condition (treatment condition) will be asked to video-tape their interactions with their children (maximum 30 mins/week at home during free play, book reading, bath or meal time routines). The therapist then will review the tapes and then use the recorded sessions to give feedback on the parents' use of strategies in addition to providing in-vivo feedback based on the live interactions during the sessions. For parents whose children are randomized into the standard care condition, the families will receive coaching based on in-vivo sessions as described above. For all participants, a battery of assessment (diagnostic, developmental testing), will be administered at the beginning of the study participation, in the mid-point at 3 months, at the end of their 6-month participation of treatment sessions, and then at the follow-up period, 6 months after the end of their participation of the treatment sessions.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Treatment ConditionBehavioural

    This group will receive three hours of parent coaching per week, one hour per week will involve feedback on parent usage of coached strategies based on parent recorded interactions with their children.

  • Control GroupBehavioural

    This group will receive in-vivo parent coaching three hours per week.

Receives: Behavioral: Control Group
Treatment ConditionExperimentalThis group will receive an additional component which will involve videotaping parent/child interactions at home for thirty minutes a week. Each week, the therapist will select sections of the video to review with the parent during one of the parent coaching sessions.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in Brief Observation of Social Communication Change (BOSCC)

    This is a brief, play-based assessment that aims to measure short-term changes in social communication. Scores range from 0 to 60 with higher scores indicating more ASD symptoms.

    Measured: Baseline, months 1-6, and follow-up (12 months)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change in Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-2 (ADOS-2)

    This is a semi-structured play-based interaction that assesses for symptoms associated with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Total calibrated severity score ranges from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating more ASD symptoms.

    Measured: Baseline, post (6 months), follow-up (12 months)

  2. Change in Beck Depression Inventory

    Self-report rating inventory that measures characteristic attitudes and symptoms of depression. Scores range from 0 to 63, with higher scores indicating higher degrees of depression.

    Measured: Baseline, post (6 months)

  3. Change in Beck Anxiety Inventory

    Self-report inventory used to assess anxiety levels in adults and adolescents. Scores range from 0 to 63, with higher scores indicating higher degrees of anxiety.

    Measured: Baseline, post (6 months)

  4. Change in Parent Stress Index

    Evaluate the magnitude of stress in the parent. Percentile scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater parenting stress.

    Measured: Baseline, post (6 months)

  5. Change in Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Preschool Version

    Standardized rating scale designed to specifically measure the range of behavioral manifestations of executive function in preschool-aged children

    Measured: Baseline, post (6 months)

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
