Family Study on Healthcare Services of Teens and Adults with ASD

Researchers from the Dual Diagnosis Program at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health are looking for parents of teens (16+) and adults with ASD. Our current project examines the types of health services used by adolescents and adults with ASD and the related experiences of family members (namely parents) who provide care to these individuals. Parents will be asked to fill out an initial background questionnaire. Parents will also be contacted on a bi-monthly basis for one year to better understand the types and frequency of healthcare services used for that period as well as their satisfaction with those services. Parents will be able to complete these surveys online, by mail or over the phone. Our goal is to be able to provide a comprehensive description of emergency health care utilization over time relative to other types of health services used. Information from this study will be used to inform clinicians, emergency service providers, policy makers, families and individuals with ASD of the relevant clinical needs and family variables that need to be taken into account in efforts to improve healthcare for this population and reduce emergency service use.

Researchers: Dr. Yona Lunsky, Dr. Jonathan Weiss, Dr. Elspeth Bradley, Dr. Anna Palucka and Dr. David Flora.
