G.I. Wanna Talk About Autism

August 30, 2023 - October 30, 2023

You are invited to participate in a new online research study led by Calliope Holingue and Margaret Johnson from Kennedy Krieger Institute (Principal Investigator Calliope Holingue, Johns Hopkins Medicine IRBIRB00316729). Our study team has come up with a list of possible recommendations or ways to improve the gastrointestinal health of autistic adults. We would like your feedback on which strategies are thought to be the most important and why. We are also trying to understand which types of individuals prefer certain recommendations.

What are the goals of the study?

Our study team has come up with a list of possible recommendations or ways to improve the gastrointestinal health of autistic adults. We would like your feedback on which strategies are thought to be the most important and why. We are also trying to understand which types of individuals prefer certain recommendations.

What will happen during the visit or online?

Participating involves completing a 10-15 minute online survey, through which you will share your feedback on ways to improve the gastrointestinal health of autistic adults. We will also ask for some basic demographic and clinical information. The individual who completes the online survey will receive a $5 electronic Tango gift card, which can be redeemed at a number of websites and stores.
