Trial Outcomes & Findings for Micronutrient Supplementation in Children With ASD (NCT NCT05268744)

NCT ID: NCT05268744

Last Updated: 2024-02-29

Results Overview

The ABI-S is an observer-reported outcome scale designed specifically to measure change and severity of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) symptoms. ABI-S will be measured by both parents and teachers. There are 24 questions. The scoring of ABI-S questions can range from 0-3 (with possible reverse scoring) based on scoring instructions for data analysis. The total range of score is between 0 and 72. Lower score indicates better performance.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Week 8

SRS measures social ability in children and young adults. SRS will be measured by both parents and teachers. There are 65 questions. The scoring of SRS questions can range from 0-3 (with possible reverse scoring) based on scoring instructions for data analysis. The total possible score range for the SRS is 0 - 195. Lower score indicates better performance.
