Abstract	As many individuals in the general population will likely interact with autistic persons in various contexts, ensuring adequate autism knowledge and awareness is important. Increased knowledge of autism has been linked to positive outcomes such as a reduction in explicit bias against autism by non-autistic adults and an increase in service quality for autistic individuals provided by indirect professionals. For this study we developed an informational video about autism and employed a randomized control trial to evaluate its effectiveness at increasing autism awareness in a general population sample. Participants were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 80) or active control group (n = 72). Results from a repeated measures analysis of variance indicated that the video intervention was effective at increasing knowledge about autism. Results from this study can be applied to future educational efforts aimed at increasing awareness about autism among the general population. (As Provided).
