Study Summary
Psychotropic medications are the first-line treatment across several diagnostic categories encompassing severe mood disturbances and behavioral problems. The use of Second Generation Antipsychotics (SGAs) has increased in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the last decade. However, SGAs are associated with serious metabolic side effects in youth that include cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. This makes the public health impact of treating medication-induced metabolic disturbances almost as important as treating the mental illness itself. Improving health and reducing premature mortality in people with severe mental illness, the investigators propose to provide early weight management prevention, delivered by clinicians, for youth starting SGAs in order to target common modifiable health risk factors in the developmental process. This study will provide an urgently needed practical model for integrating weight management into academic- and community-based autism care.
