Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) are increasingly utilised within healthcare settings to enhance decision making.

Anxiety commonly co-occurs in autism. Exploring and understanding potential underpinning mechanisms contributing to and maintaining anxiety in the early years is important in managing anxiety.

This study investigated parental perspectives of children's experiences of uncertainty.
