Take part in research on anxiety treatment
The study is called STRATA (SerTRaline for AnxieTy in adults with a diagnosis of Autism). It has been co-produced with experienced clinicians, researchers, and autistic people to investigate the treatment of anxiety in adults with a diagnosis of autism. It is already the largest study of its kind, and you can take part from anywhere in the UK.
