{ "Understanding Social Skills in Autism and Psychosis", "This study is looking for young people aged 12-18 with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Psychosis (Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorder, SSD) to better understand how their brains process social information. You would participate in a 16-week program called PEERS social skills intervention. This program involves weekly 90-minute sessions for both you and your parents, teaching important skills for making and keeping friends. Researchers will measure changes in your social understanding using tests like The Awareness of Social Inference Test (TASIT), The Social Attribution Task (SAT-MC, SAT-MC-II), and the Penn Emotion Identification Task (PennCNB) at the beginning and end of the program. The goal is to learn more about the brain differences that affect social skills in these conditions. The study plans to enroll 90 participants, and its current status is unclear.", "design": "This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific treatment. It aims to enroll 90 participants, including 30 adolescents with ASD and 30 with SSD.", "commitments": "You would attend weekly 90-minute PEERS social skills intervention sessions for 16 weeks, along with your parents. You will also complete social understanding tests at the beginning and end of the 16-week program.", "compensation": "Not stated in the trial record.", "follow_up": "Your social understanding will be measured at the end of the 16-week intervention period.", }
