- Brief Summary
This study evaluates the effectiveness of an 8-week mindfulness group training for children (8-16 years old) with ADHD in combination with a parallel mindful parenting training for their parents. Half of the participants will be randomly assigned to the mindfulness training in addition to care-as-usual (CAU); the other half to CAU-only.
The hypothesis is that compared to care-as-usual only, the addition of the mindfulness training will improve self-control of youth with ADHD.
