This study examined the treatment efficacy of PEERS® (Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills) among Chinese adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Hong Kong. The original PEERS® manual was translated into Chinese, and cultural adjustments were made according to a survey among 209 local adolescents in the general population. 72 high-functioning adolescents with ASD were randomly assigned to a treatment or waitlist control group. The 14-week parent-assisted training significantly improved social skills knowledge and social functioning, and also reduced autistic mannerisms. Treatment outcomes were maintained for 3 months after training and replicated in the control group after delayed treatment. The present study represents one of the few randomized controlled trials on PEERS® conducted outside North America.
本研究考察了 PEERS®（人际关系技能培养计划）在中国香港自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）青少年中的治疗效果。原始的 PEERS®手册被翻译成中文，并根据对 209 名普通青少年的调查进行了文化调整。72 名高功能 ASD 青少年被随机分配到治疗组或候补对照组。为期 14 周的家长辅助训练显著提高了社交技能知识和社交功能，同时减少了自闭症行为。治疗效果在训练后 3 个月内得以维持，并在延迟治疗后在对照组中得到复制。本研究是在北美以外地区进行的为数不多的 PEERS®随机对照试验之一。
