This Mentored Career Development Award will lay the foundation for a career focused on addressing 2 specific Grand Challenges in Global Mental Health priorities: 1) improving child access to evidence-based mental health care, and 2) reducing the duration of untreated illness by developing culturally-sensitive early interventions. The proposed research aims to assess the acceptability, feasibility, and impact of a brief caregiver-mediated early autism intervention adapted for use in a low resource setting. Data from this pilot study would inform scalable early autism intervention programs for implementation in underserved, low resource, and low-literacy populations globally.
