Evidence supporting the effectiveness of the PEERS® social skills intervention for adolescents with autism spectrum disorder is relatively strong. Less is known about whether the duration of the program impacts participant outcomes. The current study compared outcomes of participants randomly assigned to participate in an accelerated version of PEERS that met twice weekly for 7 weeks (n = 11) or the traditional PEERS program that met once weekly for 14 weeks (n = 10). The accelerated PEERS group demonstrated improvements consistent with previous research on the program, and treatment response did not differ significantly between the accelerated PEERS and traditional PEERS groups. Together, findings provide preliminary evidence that PEERS is effective when administered as a 7-week program.
支持 PEERS®社交技能干预对自闭症谱系障碍青少年有效性的证据相对较强。对于该项目的持续时间是否会影响参与者的结果，人们知之甚少。本研究比较了随机分配参加加速版 PEERS 的参与者的结果，该加速版 PEERS 每周进行两次，共 7 周（n=11），或传统的每周进行一次，共 14 周（n=10）。加速版 PEERS 组的表现与该项目之前的研究一致，且加速版 PEERS 和传统 PEERS 组之间的治疗反应没有显著差异。总的来说，这些发现初步证明了 PEERS 在作为一个 7 周项目实施时是有效的。
