Student would assist in a retrospective chart review study to determine the effectiveness of medication treatments for anxiety in individuals with autism spectrum disorder and other neurodevelopmental disorders. The position would require occasional in person work at the Lurie Center for Autism in Lexington, MA but the majority of the work can be done remotely. The student would assist in determining research questions, submitting an IRB application, setting up a database, and reviewing medical records to collect data. If of interest the student would receive training in statistical analysis and manuscript/presentation preparation.

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
