Scalable diagnostic and neurobehavioural tools, including powerful, low-cost approaches such as eye-tracking, for detection and study of mechanistic neural processes are necessary to advance autism research in these settings. The objective of this study is to examine autism diagnostic outcomes and eye-tracking biomarkers in relation to CHEU while at the same time building capacity for neuro-health research in Kenya.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and analysis<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study will leverage a longitudinally assessed cohort of CHEU and children who are HIV-unexposed and uninfected (CHUU) with well characterised HIV-related and contextual exposures. We will first determine and compare autism diagnostic outcomes between young CHEU and CHUU across a large cohort (n=850) of Kenyan children using research-grade autism assessment tools, and, second, determine whether neurobehavioural eye-tracking markers predict autism outcomes across this cohort.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Ethics and dissemination<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Human subjects approvals have been obtained from Moi University Institutional Review and Ethics Committee (IREC; IREC\/909\/2024; Approval #0004835), Kenya\u2019s National Commission for Science, Technology and Innovation (NACOSTI; Reference #NACOSTI\/P\/25\/415028), the Institutional Review Board of the Indiana University School of Medicine (Protocol #23171), with reliance agreements executed with Purdue University and Boston University.
