简要总结
The aims of the present study is to investigate the efficacy of a co-designed individually-tailored Internet intervention for parents of children with ADHD.
详细描述
Attention/deficit-hyperactivity disorder is a prevalent mental health problem in children with a significant impact on children, families and society. Despite the fact that evidence-based treatment exists, with pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic options available, a significant percentage of children do not have access to treatment. Behavioral parent training is recommended as first line treatment for children with ADHD, however, parents face numerous challenges in access, and even when they access BPT, dropout rates are high. Technology could improve access to evidence-based treatments and surpass existent gaps. For instance, Internet interventions are associated with moderate to large effect sizes for anxiety and depressive symptoms in adults.
Participants included in this study, namely parents of children diagnosed with ADHD (aged 6-11 years) will be randomized either to ADHDCoach intervention or Treatment as usual.
