This $855,972 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), aims to modify and validate the K-CAT mental health assessment tool for use with children and adolescents on the autism spectrum.

The key objectives are to: (1) evaluate the psychometric properties of the existing K-CAT for use with autistic youth; and (2) develop and validate a reliable, valid, and acceptable K-CAT Autism Version. The study will be conducted in two phases - first examining the existing K-CAT, and then modifying it based on input from youth, caregivers, and clinicians. The final validated K-CAT Autism Version is expected to significantly improve the identification of mental health symptoms in this population, facilitating earlier access to appropriate evidence-based services. The award period runs from Sep 11, 2024 to Aug 31, 2025 and is being granted to Adaptive Testing Technologies Inc., a for-profit organization specializing in computerized adaptive testing services.
