Thank you for your interest!

What is this study?
We’ve created an online video library to help substance misuse counselors learn skills to work with their autistic clients more effectively. With also 1 in 3 autistic adults experiencing some types of substance use disorder, we think it's important for counselors to be prepared to meet their unique needs during treatment.

We are asking for substance use counselors around Santa Cruz County to help us test the resource in November 2025.

The study is sponsored by NIDA, and approved by dfusion's Institutional Review Board for safety

What would I be asked to do?
  • Complete an online pre-survey (~15min)
  • Complete a simulated client session in our offices in Scott’s Valley November 14-17 (outside work hours; ~30min)
  • View the videos on your own time over the course of 1 week (~1.25hr)
  • Complete a second simulated session November 21-24 (~30min)
  • Complete an online post-survey (~10min)

What does this study pay?
You can earn up to $500 for completing the study!
