Health professional education in autism and intellectual disability: systematic review

Educational interventions demonstrate positive effects on heath professionals' capacity to provide care. Significant gaps include limited evidence for adult-focused interventions, uncertainty about optimal delivery modes and duration, and minimal inclusion of people with lived experience in intervention design and delivery. Future interventions should involve people with lived experience in design and delivery, and incorporate validated outcome measures to enhance evidence quality.

Abstract

Educational interventions demonstrate positive effects on heath professionals' capacity to provide care. Significant gaps include limited evidence for adult-focused interventions, uncertainty about optimal delivery modes and duration, and minimal inclusion of people with lived experience in intervention design and delivery. Future interventions should involve people with lived experience in design and delivery, and incorporate validated outcome measures to enhance evidence quality.
