Bridging the service gap: advocacy program tailored for latinx families of autistic teens
NCT ID NCT06207149
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study adapts an existing advocacy program, called ASSIST, for Latinx families of autistic youth aged 12 and older. The program teaches parents how to advocate for adult disability services, aiming to improve access to care. Researchers will test the adapted program with 48 Spanish-speaking Latinx families in Illinois to see if it is feasible and effective.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ASISTIR advocacy program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help reduce service disparities for Latinx families of autistic youth transitioning to adulthood.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage adaptation study with a small sample, so results may not apply broadly. The program may not work as well in real-world settings.
