Faster autism diagnosis for primary care clinicians
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a training program to help primary care clinicians diagnose autism in young children more quickly. If successful, it could reduce wait times for families.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a doctor or nurse practitioner.
- You already screen children for autism at 18 and 24 months using a standard checklist.
- You are willing to be placed in either a training group or a control group by chance.
- You will ask parents of children 18-36 months who show signs of autism for permission to contact them.
- You will complete all training sessions and surveys.
- If in the training group, you will keep records of all autism evaluations you do.

This study tests whether doctors can screen young children for autism risk using video visits instead of in-person appointments. It aims to make early autism screening faster and more accessible through Georgia's early intervention program.
This trial tests whether a parent-led program (with PACT) can improve autism-related symptoms in children. It focuses on giving parents structured support, and it compares outcomes after families complete the program.
This study tests whether telehealth (video visits) can help families get faster access to autism evaluation and support. A coach will work with you and your child over 12 weeks to help navigate care and teach strategies at home.
This study tests a computerized “cognitive remediation” program adapted for people with autism, using social scenarios and skills. The goal is to improve thinking and related day-to-day abilities by practicing structured tasks on a screen.
This study tests whether a tablet/computer app can reliably spot early autism signs in toddlers. If it works well, it could help families and clinicians screen sooner and more accurately.
