New Recruiting Trial: TF-CBT for Autistic Youth Pilot Implementation - Open Pilot
WHY IT MATTERS
This trial addresses a significant gap in mental health treatment for autistic youth, as trauma-focused therapies are often adapted without testing whether they work safely and effectively for autistic individuals.
Researchers at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center are testing a therapy called TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to see if it works well for autistic young people. This is a pilot study, which means it's a small test to see if the approach is worth studying more carefully. The study is now accepting participants and is expected to start in April 2026.
