Clinicians report primarily using functional behavioral assessment (FBA) methods that do not include functional analyses. However, studies examining the correspondence between functional analyses and other types of FBAs have produced inconsistent results. In addition, although functional analyses are considered the gold standard, their contribution toward successful treatment compared with other FBA methods remains unclear. This comparative effectiveness study, conducted with 57 young children with autism spectrum disorder, evaluated the results of FBAs that did (n = 26) and did not (n = 31) include a functional analysis. Results of FBAs with and without functional analyses showed modest correspondence. All participants who completed functional communication training achieved successful outcomes regardless of the type of FBA conducted.

功能行为评估方法的比较有效性试验

临床医生报告主要使用功能行为评估 (FBA) 方法，不包括功能分析。然而，检查功能分析与其他类型 FBA 之间对应关系的研究得出了不一致的结果。此外，虽然功能分析被认为是金标准，但与其他 FBA 方法相比，它们对成功治疗的贡献仍不清楚。这项比较有效性研究对 57 名患有自闭症谱系障碍的幼儿进行，评估了包含功能分析 ( n  = 26) 和未 包含功能分析( n = 31)的 FBA 结果。有和没有功能分析的 FBA 结果显示出适度的一致性。无论进行何种类型的 FBA，完成功能沟通培训的所有参与者都取得了成功的成果。
