Description

This study examined the influence of gender on social anxiety following the Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS), an evidence-based, caregiver-assisted social skills intervention for young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other social challenges (Laugeson & Frankel, 2010). Understanding gender differences in treatment gains will inform clinicians and researchers in the creation and dissemination of empirically-supported mental health interventions.
