KF-STRIDE for Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder

This study is evaluating and improving a program called KF-STRIDE, which helps adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) improve their job interview skills. The program focuses on helping you identify your personal strengths and express them appropriately during an interview. Researchers want to see if KF-STRIDE 3.0 is acceptable, usable, and effective for adults with ASD. They will measure success by looking at your performance in a mock job interview, your work readiness, and your employment status. You may be able to join if you are between 18 and 65 years old, live in the USA, and speak English fluently. The study aims to enroll 30 participants, but its current status is unclear.

Study design
This interventional study plans to enroll 30 participants. It is designed to test the acceptability, usability, feasibility, and initial effectiveness of the KF-STRIDE 3.0 program.
What's involved
You would participate in a 20-minute video-recorded mock job interview and complete assessments like the Autism Mock Interview Rating-Scale (A-MIRS) and Work Readiness Scale. These measurements will be taken at the beginning of the study and again between weeks 7 and 8.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your employment status will be measured at the beginning of the study and again between weeks 7 and 8 after the intervention.

  • 20-minute long video-recorded Mock Job Interview, Autism Mock Interview Rating-Scale(A-MIRS)Baseline, Immediate Post-Test between weeks 7 and 8

    Participants will choose 1 of 7 possible employment positions (i.e., security, childcare, culinary arts). Digital recordings will be scored by blinded raters with human resources expertise and trained to a reliable standard. Briefly, raters will rate videos using the Autism Mock Interview Rating-Scale (A-MIRS). The A-MIRS will rate the participant's 'likeliness to be hired' along with different interview skills (using a Likert-type scale 1=Poor to 7=Excellent). A total score will be evaluated, with higher scores indicating a higher likelihood to be hired. Maximum score of 77 and minimum score of 11. A higher score indicated better performance.

  • Work Readiness ScaleBaseline, Immediate Post-Test between weeks 7 and 8

    13 items about the perception of one's ability to work, with values ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5(strongly agree), with higher scores indicating more work readiness. The maximum score is 65 and the minimum score is 13. A higher score indicates a better work readiness outcome.

  • Employment StatusBaseline, Immediate Post-Test between weeks 7 and 8

    The investigators will examine whether the participant became employed or other changes to employment status, (employment status, hours worked, wages earned, etc.) . Yes=1, No=0
