STUDY BASICS

Are you the parent of a teen diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)? Your child may be eligible for a research study to create a new measure of suicide risk. This study will involve online surveys. Compensation is provided.


STUDY PURPOSE

This study is focused on the development of a new measure of suicidality called the Autism Suicidality Inventory (ASI). The ASI is a survey that measures suicidality in autistic adolescents and adults. We hope to learn information that can be used to support mental health for autistic people.


COULD THIS STUDY BE RIGHT FOR YOUR CHILD?
  • Your child/dependent has a diagnosis of ASD
  • Your child/dependent is between ages 14-17
  • Your child/dependent can read and comprehend English at a 6th grade level or higher

WHAT PARTICIPANTS CAN EXPECT
  • Your child/dependent will be asked to complete a series of online surveys about their thoughts, feelings, interests, and daily life. The series of surveys will take approximately 2-3 hours to complete.
  • Your child/dependent may be asked to complete an additional survey 7 days later that should take less than 1 hour to complete.
