PEARS Trial Summary

The goal of the study is to assess a new autism evaluation model that would include the addition of a Level-2 autism screener, the Rapid Interactive Screening Test for Autism in Toddlers (RITA-T), to the developmental screening already done by the child's pediatrician. The study hypotheses: The PEARS intervention will show high feasibility to primary care physicians (PCPs) and patient families. The PEARS intervention will lead to increased parent activation around autism diagnosis.
