Teaching Parents Behavioral Strategies for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): Effects on Stress, Strain, and Competence
Abstract
We report on parent outcomes from a randomized clinical trial of parent training (PT) versus psychoeducation (PEP) in 180 children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and disruptive behavior. We compare the impact of PT and PEP on parent outcomes: Parenting Stress Index (PSI), Parent Sense of Competence (PSOC), and Caregiver Strain Questionnaire (CGSQ). Mixed-effects linear models evaluated differences at weeks 12 and 24, controlling for baseline scores. Parents in PT reported greater improvement than PEP on the PSOC (ES = 0.34), CGSQ (ES = 0.50), and difficult child subdomain of the PSI (ES = 0.44). This is the largest trial assessing PT in ASD on parent outcomes. PT reduces disruptive behavior in children, and improves parental competence while reducing parental stress and parental strain.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
In the citing paper
“While this finding is inconsistent with studies showing a reduction in parental stress via therapist-led parent-training programs for parents of children with ASD (63–65) or IDD (66, 67), as well as self-directed interventions for parents of children displaying CB (68, 69)”
In the citing paper
“This result is in line with previous research on parent training programs for parents of children with ASD (63, 64, 71) or IDD (66, 67, 74), which consistently revealed a reduction in CB after the intervention.”

“However, it is important to note that compared to these parent interventions which last ten weeks (68), three months (65), one year (70) or even longer (64, 80), the 8-week intervention period of our study was relatively short.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
