To see if eye tracking (ET) or electroencephalogram (EEG) assessments have potential use in future clinical trials of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).

To better understand the genetic changes that make children susceptible to the development of autism spectrum disorder, and to study how these changes influence clinical outcomes.

Determine how potentially stressful situations, including prematurity, hospitalizations, maternal mental health and rapid repeat births can impact a baby’s development in the first 12 months of their life.

To evaluate how the Medtronic 670G closed loop system impacts clinical and patient-reported outcomes in individuals with type 1 diabetes.

The purpose of this study is to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on vulnerable families in Los Angeles, including those caring for a child with special health care needs. Information from this research will be used to understand what the key resource and service needs of families are at this time as well as identify interventions that can be developed or adapted to address these needs.

To better understand the effects of breastfeeding on infant growth and development.

We are conducting a research study about visual problems in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We believe that many children with autism may have undiagnosed eye problems because they cannot explain when they have trouble seeing and may not undergo routine eye exams. We hope to develop a method to screen for visual problems in using a new, non-invasive technology called eye tracking. We will use a camera to record your child’s eye movements as they watch video clips for 15-20 minutes.

1. To identify family members of people with type 1 diabetes that may be at risk for developing type 1 diabetes. 2. To monitor the metabolic and immunologic status of at-risk individuals. Eligible individuals will be offered enrollment in type 1 diabetes prevention studies. See website for more details https://www.trialnet.org/
