AUTISM INTERVENTION NETWORK ON PHYSICAL HEALTH
In September 2020, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) assumed leadership of the Autism Intervention Research Network on Physical Health (AIR-P) under the direction of Dr. Alice Kuo. Funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau, Health Resources and Services Administration, the AIR-P is an interdisciplinary, multicenter research network for scientific collaboration and infrastructure aimed at increasing life expectancy and quality of life for autistic individuals, with a focus on underserved/vulnerable populations.
The AIR-P supports innovative life course intervention research in six areas (Research Nodes):
- primary care services and quality,
- community-based lifestyle interventions,
- gender, sexuality, and reproductive health,
- health systems and services,
- neurology, and
- genetics.
The mission of the AIR-P is to develop a robust research infrastructure that will foster measurable improvements in optimal physical health and well-being of autistic individuals and their families across the lifespan. The AIR-P envisions a future where autistic individuals experience optimal multi-dimensional health and well-being. More information about the AIR-P is provided at airpnetwork.ucla.edu.
