Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The main objective of this study is to determine whether various types of support services received by young children with autism spectrum disorder improve participation. In particular, this study will use propensity scores to analyze the impact of the involvement of psychologists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists on children's participation and mental health. Through this study, we aim to provide knowledge to develop a more effective support system for children with autism.

The second objective of this study is to examine what classes Children's Participation and Mental Health fall into and how they vary through latent transfer analysis of theParticipation Questionnaire for Preschoolers (PQP) and the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), respectively, and to identify factors that influence them. A third objective is to examine the longitudinal measurement properties of the PQP.

We are requesting responses to questionnaires from 350 caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorder aged 48-71 months at four different points in time. Initially, participants are asked to complete the Participation Questionnaire for Preschoolers (PQP), Demographic Questionnaire, Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), Family Outcome Survey (FOS-J), and Global Rating of Change Scales (GRC). The second data collection occurs one week after the first, including PQP, GRC, and Social Responsiveness Scale Second Edition (SRS-2). The third data collection, conducted three months after the second, requests responses to PQP, SDQ, GRC, FOS-J, and Demographic Questionnaire. The fourth collection, three months following the third, involves PQP, SDQ, FOS-J, and Global Rating Scales.Test-retest reliability is verified by calculating the intraclass correlation coefficients for PQP between the first and second surveys for participants who reported "no change" in GRC. Reactivity is evaluated by correlating changes in PQP scores with changes in the SDQ subdomains of Total Difficulties and Prosocial Behavior, as well as the total scores of FOS-J. Additionally, minimal important change (MIC) is determined using ROC curves for PQP and GRC.Furthermore, separate latent transition analyses are conducted based on the scores of each factor of PQP and SDQ to verify the transition probabilities among classes from the first to the fourth survey. Lastly, propensity score matching using PQP, Demographic Questionnaire, SRS-2, SDQ, and FOS-J is employed to compare changes in scores related to motor coordination between groups that utilized services of occupational therapists, physical therapists, and psychologists versus those who did not. If the variables used for propensity scores are insufficient, a difference-in-differences analysis will be employed to compare trends in score changes between the groups. Statistical analyses will utilize SPSS Statistics 25.0 and Latent Gold 4.0.
