Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is underidentified and misidentified in the Latino community, and numerous barriers limit this community's ability to access quality health care for ASD. Appreciative inquiry/boot camp translation (AI/BCT) is a novel method of community engagement that can be used within community-based participatory research partnerships. AI/BCT uses qualitative methods to uncover strategies that the community is already successfully using and develops actionable messages to increase the use of those strategies throughout the community. We describe this method and outline how it is likely to be more effective at reducing disparities related to ASDs in the Latino community than traditional methods.
AI/BCT is a promising method of community engagement that is responsive to cultural differences. It is a strength-based approach focused on increasing the use of strategies that already work within the community. Therefore, it has the potential to reduce health disparities in the Latino community who have loved ones with autism ASD much more rapidly than traditional methods of inquiry.

自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）在拉丁裔群体中未被充分识别和误诊，许多障碍限制了该群体获得 ASD 优质医疗保健的能力。欣赏性探究/训练营翻译（AI/BCT）是一种新的社区参与方法，可用于基于社区的参与性研究伙伴关系中。AI/BCT 使用定性方法来发现社区已经成功使用的策略，并制定可操作的信息，以在整个社区中增加这些策略的使用。我们描述了这种方法，并概述了它与传统方法相比，更有可能减少拉丁裔群体中与 ASD 相关的差异。
AI/BCT 是一种有前途的社区参与方法，对文化差异具有响应能力。它是一种基于优势的方法，侧重于增加社区内已经有效的策略的使用。因此，它有可能比传统的探究方法更快地减少自闭症患者的拉丁裔群体的健康差异。
