Invitation to Participate in a Study on Autism
Volunteers needed for "Teens Media Use Study"
Will you help us understand how teens with an autism spectrum disorder use media?
We are looking for teens who are 12-19 years old and their parents to participate in a survey study.
We want to understand how teens with an autism spectrum disorder use media, such as TV, video games, and the Internet. We want to know how their media use relates to their well-being and important relationships. We also want to know parents’ perspectives on their teen’s use of media.
Parents and the teens will fill out mailed paper-and-pencil surveys. The teens will also have a short phone interview. Both parents and the teens will receive a gift card to thank them for their time and effort.
