A process evaluation was conducted to determine the effectiveness, usability, and barriers and facilitators related to the Better OutcOmes & Successful Transitions for Autism (BOOST-A™), an online transition planning program. Adolescents on the autism spectrum (n = 33) and their parents (n = 39) provided feedback via an online questionnaire. Of these, 13 participants were interviewed to gain in-depth information about their experiences. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. Four themes were identified: (i) taking action to overcome inertia, (ii) new insights that led to clear plans for the future, (iii) adolescent empowerment through strengths focus, and (iv) having a champion to guide the way. The process evaluation revealed why BOOST-A™ was beneficial to some participants more than others. Trial registration #ACTRN12615000119594.
开展了一项过程评估，以确定在线过渡规划项目 Better OutcOmes & Successful Transitions for Autism (BOOST-A™) 的有效性、可用性以及与该项目相关的障碍和促进因素。通过在线问卷，为 33 名自闭症谱系青少年及其 39 名家长提供了反馈。其中，对 13 名参与者进行了访谈，以获取有关其体验的深入信息。使用描述性统计和主题分析对数据进行了分析。确定了四个主题：（i）采取行动克服惰性，（ii）新的见解导致未来的明确计划，（iii）通过关注优势增强青少年的权能，以及（iv）有一个引领方向的冠军。过程评估揭示了为什么 BOOST-A™ 对某些参与者比其他参与者更有益。试验注册号：ACTRN12615000119594。
