Help Improve Healthcare for Adults on the Autism Spectrum
AASPIRE has created a survey that helps people on the autism spectrum
share personalized information with their healthcare providers. The
information is meant to help healthcare visits go more smoothly. We are
now doing a study to make sure that the survey works well.
You may be able to participate in the study if you live in the U.S. and
• You are an adult on the autism spectrum or
• You assist an adult on the autism spectrum with healthcare appointments.
You would take the survey two times. Each time, it would take about 30
minutes. You can take the survey over the Internet, or, if you live near
Portland, Oregon, you can take it in person. If taking the survey over the
Internet, you have the option to have the computer read the survey
questions and answers out loud. Adults on the spectrum can take the survey
with or without the help of a supporter. It is important that you complete
both surveys.
If you take part in the study, you will be paid $5 for the first survey
and $25 for the second survey two weeks later.
