Previous research has explored the efficacy and effectiveness of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) parent training interventions. Recent trials of such programs have not replicated earlier compelling outcomes, yet the reasons for the failure of such programs to produce desired effects are unclear.
Objective: To examine demographic differences in frequency of use of technologies and interest in receiving nutrition information via technology by low-income parents and caregivers. Design: Descriptive, cross-sectional study. Setting: Head Start and state-funded child care programs.
