Evaluation and Refinement of KF-STRIDE Into the Interview!

Primary Outcomes (3)

• 20-minute long video-recorded Mock Job Interview, Autism Mock Interview Rating-Scale(A-MIRS)

  Participants will choose 1 of 7 possible employment positions (i.e., security, childcare, culinary arts). Digital recordings will be scored by blinded raters with human resources expertise and trained to a reliable standard. Briefly, raters will rate videos using the Autism Mock Interview Rating-Scale (A-MIRS). The A-MIRS will rate the participant's 'likeliness to be hired' along with different interview skills (using a Likert-type scale 1=Poor to 7=Excellent). A total score will be evaluated, with higher scores indicating a higher likelihood to be hired. Maximum score of 77 and minimum score of 11. A higher score indicated better performance.
