The effects of BTIA on the reduction of behavioral problems will be rated by an experienced clinician who does not know which treatment each participant is receiving (a "blinded" evaluator). Study participants will receive a thorough diagnostic assessment of autism spectrum disorder and other forms of psychopathology that may co-occur with ASD. In addition to testing the effects of BTIA on disruptive behavior, the changes in adaptive functioning, or children\'s ability to function competently in their everyday environment, will be examined before and after treatment.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD', 'ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '19 Years', 'minimumAge': '12 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Boys and girls, ages 12 to 18 years inclusive\n* Diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder\n* Presence of disruptive behaviors such as irritability and anger outbursts\n* No planned changes in the intensity of current treatment(s)\n* Medication free or on stable medication\n* Sufficient language for participation in verbal therapy\n* Lives within driving distance from New Haven, CT\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Presence of a medical condition that would interfere with participation in the study\n* Presence of a current psychiatric disorder that requires immediate clinical attention'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT04654260', 'acronym': 'BTIA', 'briefTitle': 'Behavior Therapy for Irritability in Autism', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Yale University'}, 'officialTitle': 'Behavior Therapy for Irritability and Aggression in Adolescents With Autism', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '0102012121-5'}, 'secondaryIdInfos': [{'id': 'W81XWH2010718', 'type': 'OTHER_GRANT', 'domain': 'DoD, Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs'}]}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Behavioral Therapy for Irritability in Autism (BTIA)', 'description': 'BTIA consists of 15 ninety-minute weekly sessions that will be conducted with the teens and their parents by experienced therapists using a structured, detailed manual.', 'interventionNames': ['Behavioral: Behavioral Therapy for Irritability in Autism']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Psychoeducation and Supportive Therapy (PST)', 'description': 'PST consist of 15 weekly, ninety-minute sessions focused on learning about and discussing issues of diagnosis, treatment and educational services with an experienced therapist could be helpful to children on the autism spectrum and their families.', 'interventionNames': ['Behavioral: Psychoeducation and Supportive Therapy (PST)']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Behavioral Therapy for Irritability in Autism', 'type': 'BEHAVIORAL', 'description': "The child-focused components of BTIA are organized in modules dedicated to emotion regulation, problem solving and practice of planned steps to prevent or resolve conflicts.
