Official title
The Emotion Awareness and Skills Enhancement (EASE) Program Versus the Unified Protocol (UP)
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Too few clinicians are able and willing to help autistic patients. A recent review identified challenges to mental health service delivery in autism, including a lack of interventions designed for community implementation and limited workforce capacity. It has been argued that improving impairment in emotion regulation has the potential to improve a range of mental health difficulties in autistic people. In this clinical trial, the investigators are comparing two evidence-based interventions for emotion regulation, to determine if one created specifically for autistic people is clinically superior. The interventions will be implemented in the community, through partnering agencies.
