目前，对于自闭症患者在过渡到成年期间的家庭来说，几乎没有循证计划可用。本研究采用随机候补对照设计(n=41)，对多家庭团体心理教育干预进行了初步评价。处于干预条件下的家庭参与了一项为期8周的计划，旨在减少家庭痛苦，改善青少年的社会功能。研究结果表明，干预条件下父母的抑郁症状和问题解决能力从干预前到干预后均有显著改善，而对照条件下的父母在干预前后的抑郁症状和问题解决能力无明显改善。与对照组相比，干预条件下的青少年的社会互动也有所改善。家长们对该项目表示满意，并特别重视与其他家庭互动的机会。
Currently there are few evidence-based programs available for families of individuals with ASD during the transition to adulthood. The present study provided a preliminary evaluation of a multi-family group psychoeducation intervention using a randomized waitlist control design (n = 41). Families in the intervention condition participated in Transitioning Together, an 8-week program designed to reduce family distress and improve social functioning for adolescents. Findings indicated significant improvements in parental depressive symptoms and problem solving from pre- to post-intervention for parents in the intervention condition but not for parents in the control condition. Social interactions also improved for youth in the intervention condition relative to controls. Parents reported satisfaction with the program and particularly valued the opportunity to interact with other families.
