BACKGROUND
The Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS®) is a social skills training program for autistic adolescents and those facing social challenges. Its efficacy has been established worldwide, including in Italy. Although booster interventions are a potentially valuable strategy to maintain improvements over time, there is currently no research on the efficacy of providing booster sessions of PEERS® following the traditional treatment.
AIMS
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of PEERS® Booster sessions in a sample who had previously participated in a traditional PEERS® Adolescent program.
METHODS AND PROCEDURES
A longitudinal non-randomized study was conducted involving 21 autistic adolescents, divided into the treatment group undergoing PEERS® Booster sessions and the control group without it.
OUTCOMES AND RESULTS
The study evaluated the primary outcomes (social abilities) and secondary outcomes (co-occurrences, executive functions) at two-time points (pre- and post-treatment). No significant differences were found between groups on baseline measures and primary outcomes. However, there were significant group differences between pre- and post-treatment on primary outcomes (social awareness and social communication) and secondary outcomes (externalizing problems).
CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS
The efficacy of the PEERS® Booster Sessions shows promise and clinical implications were also discussed.
背景
关系技能教育与强化项目（PEERS®）是一项针对自闭症青少年及面临社交挑战人群的社交技能培训项目。其有效性已在全球范围内得到证实，包括在意大利。尽管强化干预是随着时间推移维持改善效果的一种潜在有价值的策略，但目前尚无关于在传统治疗后提供PEERS®强化课程有效性的研究。
目的
本研究旨在评估PEERS®强化课程对先前参加过传统PEERS®青少年项目的样本的有效性。
方法与程序
进行了一项纵向非随机研究，涉及21名自闭症青少年，分为接受PEERS®强化课程的治疗组和未接受该课程的对照组。
结果
该研究在两个时间点（治疗前和治疗后）评估了主要结果（社交能力）和次要结果（共病、执行功能）。在基线测量和主要结果方面，两组之间未发现显著差异。然而，在治疗前和治疗后，主要结果（社交意识和社交沟通）和次要结果（外化问题）方面存在显著的组间差异。
结论与启示
PEERS®强化课程显示出有效性，同时也讨论了其临床意义。
