This study investigated the validity of 2 measures developed as part of the NIH Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS ®) initiative when completed by youth 12-17 years of age with ASD reading at a 3rd grade level and by their parents.
This study investigated the validity of 3 measures developed as part of the NIH Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS ®) initiative when completed by parents of children age 5-12 with ASD. Measures of peer relationships, psychological stress, and family involvement were studied.
This study investigates whether mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have specific antibodies in their blood that predict the severity of autism in their children. The study was conducted to determine if findings at one DBPNet site could be replicated at two other sites.
The EHR data collection study extracted data on the diagnoses children received and the psychotropic medications prescribed at 3 DBPNet sites for visits between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2011. The study was conducted to determine the feasibility of using EHR data for research on the clinical practices and variation in clinical practices across sites.
This study was conducted to identify the reasons that children get referred to developmental and behavioral pediatricians (DBPs). Information on the diagnoses the children received, assessments completed or recommended, and length of the visits was obtained at 12 DBPNet sites.
This study was conducted at 12 DBPNet sites in order to identify similarities and differences in the assessment and treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) across the sites.
Developmental-Behavioral Pediatric fellowship program directors were surveyed to determine the research training experiences, barriers to research training, and research training outcomes in their training programs
This study used a modified Delphi procedure to identify the research questions that developmental-behavioral pediatricians, pediatric psychologists (working in the field of DBP), and parents of children with disabilities agreed were the most important research questions to investigate.
