Article Synopsis
- The objective of the study was to review social skills measures reported by parents to find suitable options for clinical trials focused on social deficits in children and adolescents (ages 6-18) with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1).
- Research involved searching databases to identify relevant outcome measures used in recent clinical trials involving populations with known social skills challenges, such as ADHD and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which were then rated for various criteria.
- The committee recommended two measures: the Social Responsiveness Scale-2 (SRS-2), best for studies on problematic behaviors associated with ASD, and the Social Skills Improvement System-Rating Scale (SSIS-RS), suitable for broader social functioning assessments; recommendations
The effects of childhood traumatic brain injury (TBI) on social problem-solving were examined in 35 children with severe TBI, 40 children with moderate TBI, and 46 children with orthopedic injuries (OI). The children were recruited prospectively following injuries that occurred between 6 and 12 years of age. They were followed longitudinally, and ranged from 9 to 18 years of age at the time of the current study, which occurred on average 4 years post injury.
