Description

If we want to improve the lives of children with ASD we have to consider the health and well-being of parents and caregivers. This study sought out to identify psychological factors that predict health related quality of life in parents of youth with ASD and give voice to the daily lived experience of these individuals by using a mixed-methods approach including both a quantitative survey and qualitative interviews.
