Survey of Autism Service Providers in Qatar During the COVID-19 Pandemic

66 autism service providers in Qatar were surveyed online during the COVID-19 pandemic. The data includes descriptive statistics, chi-square and likelihood ratio tests, and thematic analysis of qualitative responses. The dataset was authored by Fouad Alshaban and last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze the association between provider stress and financial strains based on the reported statistical significance [p = 0.008, LR = 4.337]
• Model the impact of remote service delivery on therapy effectiveness based on the thematic analysis findings
• Assess skill regression in individuals with ASD based on provider reports mentioned in the results
• Evaluate challenges in balancing work and family responsibilities for service providers based on qualitative themes

Strengths

• Includes data from 66 service providers, providing a specific sample size
• Contains both quantitative statistical results (e.g., 90.9% worked remotely) and qualitative thematic analysis
• Explicitly reports statistical associations, such as stress levels linked to emotional tolls [p = 0.017, LR = 4.887]

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to a single-country (Qatar) study
