Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Lauren Borduin Quetsch's research focuses on behavioral interventions for children, particularly those with autism spectrum disorder. She has investigated the efficacy of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) for children exhibiting disruptive behaviors and autism, including a randomized clinical trial funded by the National Institute of Mental Health. Her work also examines factors influencing treatment adherence and attrition in PCIT, such as the impact of incentives in low-income, primarily Latinx populations. Quetsch has explored emotion regulation and attrition within PCIT and reconceptualized the concept of "dropouts" as demonstrating significant improvements. She has also studied aggression in autism compared to non-autistic samples. Her scholarship includes a systematic review on web-based training methods for behavioral health providers and editing a handbook on PCIT for children on the autism spectrum. Quetsch's scholarly metrics include an h-index of 15, with 64 total publications and 747 citations.
