Parents taking part in the IAN Research project answer a series of questions via the Internet from the comfort of their own homes and at their own convenience. They can stop the process at any time, starting again when they are ready. (This is a wonderful feature, as parents of children with ASDs experience many interruptions in their daily lives!)
Data collected from thousands of parents --stripped of identifying information-- will be shared with autism researchers seeking answers to crucial questions.
The Father Basic Medical History questionnaire asks fathers of children with an ASD about their background and family history. It takes approximately 5 minutes to complete.
Please note: items which appear as orange and underlined are linked to Research Results --an explanation of that particular question's importance together with a graph showing our results so far.
