Abstract

Children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) often experience symptoms associated with underlying medical conditions that may affect their health and wellbeing. Families face substantial difficulty accessing adequate health care, particularly families from underserved groups. Purpose: To improve the physical health and well-being of children and adolescents with ASD or other developmental disabilities by expanding and continuing the work of the AIR-P. The network will advance HRSA's goal of addressing disparities and improving health equity by focusing on individuals from underserved populations across the U.S.

Goals and Objectives:

AIR-P aims to: 1) conduct multisite research on evidence-based interventions that improve physical health of children and adolescents with ASD and developmental disorders, especially underserved populations; 2) transform AIR-P into a multisite Learning Network (LN) which will provide a collaborative laboratory for developing and testing evidence-based interventions and accelerating the adoption of effective interventions to improve care and reduce disparities; 3) support development and mentorship of emerging or new investigators; 4) develop and disseminate guidelines for interventions; 5) accelerate the adoption of effective interventions into practice settings and communities, especially underserved communities; and 6) leverage network capacity to compete for grant opportunities from other Federal and private sources. Proposed Activities and Target Population(s): We will conduct two core multisite research initiatives: 1) ECHO Autism, an intervention to teach PCPs to improve their care of children with ASD, and 2) a study aimed at improving participation in dental care and oral health outcomes for underserved children with ASD. These projects target children with ASD with an emphasis on those from underserved groups including children from practices for which over 50% of patients are underserved (for ECHO Autism) and patients with Medicaid insurance (the Dental project). We will also provide opportunities to support secondary data analyses of ATN Registry data as well as pilot studies. We will transform AIR-P into a Learning Network that will include cycles of tests of change and spread of successful interventions to underserved communities, complete guidelines, and disseminate findings at a national level.

Coordination:

The interdisciplinary team includes clinicians from diverse specialties, health policy experts, researchers, and family members. Our partnership with the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers (the League) will allow the AIR-P to coordinate the recruitment of patients, pediatricians, and practices to our research studies. We will also partner with community organizations that serve diverse communities.
