AI Article Synopsis
- Psychoeducational parent training, specifically the FAUT-E program, is a cost-effective approach for supporting parents of children recently diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
- In a study involving 24 parents, improved child behavior was noted after the training, with significant pre-post effect sizes measured through the Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC) at different time points.
- Although the program led to positive changes in children’s behaviors, parental measures did not show improvement, suggesting that while FAUT-E is beneficial for child behavior, it may not necessarily enhance parental well-being.
Article Abstract
Psychoeducational parent training is an economic way to provide care for parents of children newly diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study explores pre-post effect sizes of the manualized autism-specific parent training FAUT-E (Frankfurter Autismus-Elterntraining). Two behaviorally trained therapists worked with 6-10 parents in eight group sessions. Twenty-four parents of 24 children with ASD participated in the study. Outcomes were child- and parent-related measures obtained at T0 (first measurement), T1 (second measurement), T2 (postintervention), and T3 (3 months after intervention). Children showed improved behavior in the parent-rated Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC) total score after therapy ( = .001; ES T1T2 = .73) and at T3 ( = .018; ES T1-T3 = -.51), and a lower intensity of parent-rated problem behavior at T3 ( = .031; ES T1-T3 = -.46). Parental measures did not change. This study found medium pre-post effects on the child's behavior by FAUT-E between T1 and T2/T3; these were not observed between the measurements T0-T1. FAUT-E was easy to implement and did not increase parental stress. This is in line with results of studies on other training programs to teach parents to use effective behavioral strategies with ASD.

Department of Pediatrics, Copenhagen University Hospital-North Zealand, Hillerød, Denmark.
Background: Identification of mother-infant pairs predisposed to early cessation of exclusive breastfeeding is important for delivering targeted support. Machine learning techniques enable development of transparent prediction models that enhance clinical applicability. We aimed to develop and validate two models to predict cessation of exclusive breastfeeding within one month among infants born after 35 weeks gestation using machine learning techniques.

Breastfeeding (BF) is vital for maternal and infant health, yet post-hospital discharge support remains a challenge. The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) provides BF peer counseling prenatally and up to 1-year postpartum among low-income women in the United States. The Lactation Advice Through Texting Can Help (LATCH) intervention is an evidence-based two-way text messaging intervention that provides BF education and support in the WIC peer counseling program.

During summer, children may meet fewer 24 hours Movement Guidelines (24 hr-MGs) [moderate-vigorous physical activity (PA): ≥60 minutes/day, screen time: ≤2 hours/day, sleep: 9-11 hours/day) compared with the school year. Structured environments within community settings (, summer programs) support guideline adherence. Information about the relationship between structured home environments and 24 hr-MGs is needed.

Background: Stigma toward transgender children and adolescents negatively impacts their health and educational outcomes. Contact with members of stigmatized groups can dismantle stereotypes and reduce stigma by facilitating exposure to the unique cognitive and emotional perspectives of individuals within the group. Recent evidence suggests that video-based contact interventions can be as effective as face-to-face encounters, but challenges lie in protecting the identities of transgender youth, since many of them live in stealth.
