About this study
Official title: Exploring the Feasibility of Social Prescription in People on the Autism Spectrum
This study will examine whether visiting the National Taiwan Museum can support the social and emotional well-being of autistic adults.
The research team plans to recruit 90 autistic adults aged 18 to 50 from the Department of Psychiatry at National Taiwan University Hospital. Participants must have average-range intellectual ability and be able and willing to complete the study activities and assessments. People with serious physical or mental health conditions that would prevent full participation will not be included. Participants must also agree to audio and video recording during the activities.

After an outpatient doctor confirms eligibility, participants will complete questionnaires and choose one of three museum participation options:
- Visit the museum once independently.
- Join five guided museum visits with group discussions.
- Invite a friend to visit the museum together.
Each group will include about 30 participants.
For the guided group, each session will last about 90 minutes and include a professional museum tour, a question-and-answer period, time for independent exploration, and a group discussion. Participants will be encouraged to select exhibits that interest them, record their observations, share their thoughts, listen to others, and respond to different viewpoints.
The five planned museum themes include Taiwan's history and identity, relationships between people and nature, architecture and living spaces, human evolution and the future, and attitudes toward money and financial planning. The discussions will explore everyday topics such as stereotypes, personal values, preferred living environments, hopes for the future, and managing money.
Participants will complete questionnaires before and after the program. These questionnaires will assess areas such as autistic characteristics, social communication, empathy, sensory experiences, comfort with social touch, emotional skills, loneliness, anxiety, depression, and anxiety during social interaction. Participants will also rate how enjoyable, comfortable, safe, interesting, and socially engaging they found the museum activities.
The researchers will compare participants' results before and after the program. They will also compare the three participation options to determine whether independent visits, guided group activities, or visiting with a friend produce different outcomes.
The overall goal is to understand whether museum-based activities can be used as a form of social prescribing to improve social participation, emotional well-being, confidence, and quality of life among autistic adults.
Read the detailed description
This study will evaluate a museum-based social prescribing program for autistic adults with average-range intellectual functioning. Social prescribing is a person-centered approach that connects individuals with nonmedical community resources to support health, well-being, and social participation. Although social prescribing has been applied to people with chronic medical and psychiatric conditions, its effectiveness for autistic adults has not been well established. This study is being conducted through collaboration between the Department of Psychiatry at National Taiwan University Hospital and the National Taiwan Museum.
Approximately 90 autistic adults will be recruited through the outpatient services of National Taiwan University Hospital. After clinical referral and completion of baseline assessments, participants will select one of three museum participation programs, with a target enrollment of approximately 30 participants per group. Because participants choose their preferred program, assignment is nonrandomized.
The three programs are:
- Independent Museum Visit: Participants will visit the National Taiwan Museum once at a time of their choosing.
- Guided Museum Program: Participants will attend five structured group sessions, with approximately 10-15 participants per group. Each session will last approximately 90 minutes and will include a museum-guided introduction, a question-and-answer period, independent exploration of selected exhibits, and a facilitated group discussion.
- Museum Visit With a Friend: Participants will invite a friend or companion to visit the museum with them.
The guided program will use permanent museum exhibitions as prompts for social interaction, reflection, and discussion. Proposed themes include stereotypes and personal identity, relationships between people and nature, ideals and realities of living environments, human evolution and the future, and personal attitudes toward money and financial planning. During the discussion period, participants will share observations or photographs from the exhibits, listen to other participants, provide feedback, and express their own perspectives.
Quantitative assessments will be administered before participation and, for selected measures, after completion of the assigned museum program. Baseline assessments will characterize autism-related traits, social responsiveness, sensory processing, sensory sensitivity, attitudes toward social touch, emotional functioning, loneliness, anxiety, depression, and social interaction anxiety. Post-program assessments will focus on changes in emotional functioning, loneliness, anxiety, depression, and social interaction anxiety, as well as satisfaction with the museum experience.
Participants who complete their selected program may also be invited to take part in a focus group lasting approximately 30-60 minutes. The discussion will explore perceived benefits, difficulties, satisfaction, and recommendations for improving the program. Focus groups will be audio- and video-recorded and transcribed for qualitative analysis.
Quantitative analyses will examine within-participant changes in emotional intelligence, loneliness, anxiety, depression, and social interaction anxiety. Differences among the three participation programs will also be evaluated, including differences in activity satisfaction and changes from baseline. Exploratory analyses will examine whether baseline autism-related, social, and sensory characteristics are associated with program response. Qualitative data will be summarized thematically to identify perceived benefits and areas requiring improvement.
All research records will be identified by study code rather than participant name. Paper records will be stored in locked cabinets, and electronic files, including audio and video recordings, will be stored on password-protected computers. Study data will be retained for 20 years and then destroyed according to institutional procedures.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Activity satisfaction
Participants will also complete an activity evaluation based on the University College London Museum Wellbeing Questionnaire.
The questionnaire contains 12 items rated on a five-point scale from "never" to "always." It assesses whether participants:
Felt happy. Became absorbed in the activity. Felt comfortable and relaxed. Felt safe and secure. Enjoyed the company of others. Enjoyed talking with other people. Found the activity new and interesting. Enjoyed taking part. Found the activity arrangement engaging. Considered the activity entertaining. Felt confident while participating. Experienced a sense of physical and emotional well-being after the activity.
Higher scores suggest greater satisfaction.
Measured: Change from baseline to after the intervention
Secondary outcomes (5)
Loneliness
Measured using the UCLA Loneliness Scale, a 20-item measure of loneliness and perceived social isolation. Participants indicate how often they experience feelings described in each item. Higher scores indicate more loneliness.
Measured: Change from baseline to after the intervention
Emotional intelligence
The Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale is a 33-item measure of emotional abilities. It assesses areas such as expressing emotions, understanding one's own emotions, understanding the emotions of others, and using emotions to support problem-solving. Higher scores suggest higher emotional intelligence and functioning.
Measured: Change from baseline to after the intervention
Social interaction anxiety
The Social Interaction Anxiety Scale is a self-report measure of anxiety experienced during interactions with other people. Participants rate how closely each item reflects their usual experiences. Higher scores indicate greater social interaction anxiety.
Measured: Change from baseline to after the intervention
Depression
The Beck Depression Inventory is a 21-item questionnaire used to assess the severity of depressive symptoms. Higher scores indicate more severe depressive symptoms.
Measured: Change from baseline to after the intervention
Anxiety
Measured using the Beck Anxiety Inventory, a 21-item questionnaire that assesses the severity of anxiety symptoms during the previous month. It covers physical symptoms, nervous-system responses, panic-related symptoms, and subjective feelings of anxiety. Higher scores indicate more severe anxiety symptoms.
Measured: Change from baseline to after the intervention

This study will examine whether visiting the National Taiwan Museum can support the social and emotional well-being of autistic adults.
The research team plans to recruit 90 autistic adults aged 18 to 50 from the Department of Psychiatry at National Taiwan University Hospital. Participants must have average-range intellectual ability and be able and willing to complete the study activities and assessments. People with serious physical or mental health conditions that would prevent full participation will not be included. Participants must also agree to audio and video recording during the activities.
After an outpatient doctor confirms eligibility, participants will complete questionnaires and choose one of three museum participation options:
- Visit the museum once independently.
- Join five guided museum visits with group discussions.
- Invite a friend to visit the museum together.
Each group will include about 30 participants.

Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Yi-Ling Chien, MD, PhD (+866+223123456 ext. 266013, ntuh.peers@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Activity satisfaction (time frame: Change from baseline to after the intervention). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07768332, which also lists 30 linked publications.
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?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Aug 2026.
