The Assess Distress Study: Development of the Emotion Dysregulation Inventory for ASD

Dr. Carla Mazefsky, PhD, University of Pittsburgh

This study is to develop a new measure of emotional distress and emotional control called the Emotion Dysregulation Inventory (EDI).  The EDI will help identify emotional problems and track treatment progress in individuals with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disorders. This study will include parents who have a child with ASD between the ages of 6-40.

Parents will complete a brief reading test and a few questionnaires about your son's or daughter's emotions and behaviors.  Parents will also be interviewed about their impressions and suggestions for the new questionnaire. Your child does not need to attend the research appointment.
