This two-site randomized waitlist-control study (n = 96 mother-child dyads) examined the efficacy of a psychoeducation program as compared to usual care to empower Latina mothers and improve their confidence in and use of evidence-based practices (EBPs) for their children with ASD. A secondary aim was to improve child outcomes. Compared to control group, we found significant positive changes in the treatment group in maternal confidence of and frequency in use of EBPs, child social communication and the number of EB services the child received. We found no significant differences for the treatment group in family empowerment or in child challenging behaviors. This RCT presents evidence of an efficacious intervention for Latino children with ASD and their mothers in California and Illinois.
本两项随机等待对照研究（n=96 对母婴对子）考察了心理教育方案与常规护理相比对增强拉丁裔母亲能力的效果，以及改善其对自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）患儿循证实践（EBP）的信心和使用情况。次要目标是改善儿童的预后。与对照组相比，我们发现治疗组母亲在 EBP 的使用信心和频率、儿童社会沟通能力以及儿童接受 EBP 服务的数量方面均有显著积极变化。在家庭赋权或儿童问题行为方面，我们未发现治疗组有显著差异。本 RCT 为加利福尼亚州和伊利诺伊州的 ASD 拉丁裔儿童及其母亲提供了有效干预的证据。
