Predictors and moderators of parent training efficacy in a sample of children with autism spectrum disorders and serious behavioral problems . The Research Units on Pediatric Psychopharmacology -- Autism Network reported additional benefit when adding parent training ( PT ) to antipsychotic medication in children with autism spectrum disorders and serious behavior problems . The intent-to-treat analyses were rerun with putative predictors and moderators . The Home Situations Questionnaire ( HSQ ) and the Hyperactivity/Noncompliance subscale of the Aberrant Behavior Checklist were used as outcome measures . Candidate predictors and moderators included 21 demographics and baseline measures of behavior . Higher baseline HSQ scores predicted greater improvement on the HSQ regardless of treatment assignment , but no other predictors of outcome were observed . None of the variables measured in this study moderated response to PT . Antipsychotic medication plus PT appears to be equally effective for children with a wide range of demographic and behavioral characteristics .
