Autism Genomics Sweden - Genetic Guidance and Information Trial
Autism Genomics Sweden - AuGeS - Genetic Information and Guidance in Autism and Related Psychiatric Conditions Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 11 Aug 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This observational clinical trial aims to evaluate whether providing genetic information about the origins of autism and related psychiatric disorders enhances understanding, well-being, and empowerment in adolescents and young adults with autism. The study will compare the outcomes of two groups: one receiving a 1.5-hour genetic counseling session with a clinician and the other receiving general genetic information via a leaflet. Participants will be assessed using pre- and post-intervention questionnaires, including measures of understanding of their condition (mGCOS-24) and mental health (GAD-7 and PHQ-9). The study also explores whether mental health factors like anxiety and depression influence the effectiveness of the interventions.
