简要总结
The objective of this randomized clinical trial is to address unanswered questions about the relative effectiveness of treatments for children with both Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and significant reading difficulties (RD). The study evaluates attentional and word reading outcomes for students with both conditions when provided with either (a) ADHD treatment alone, (b) RD treatment alone, or (c) the combination of ADHD and RD treatment.
详细描述
The objective of this randomized clinical trial is to address unanswered questions about the relative effectiveness of treatments for children with both Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and significant reading difficulties (RD). The study evaluates attentional and word reading outcomes for students with both conditions when provided with either (a) disorder-specific ADHD treatment (carefully managed medication + parent training), (b) disorder-specific RD treatment (intensive, individualized reading instruction), or (c) the combination of ADHD and RD treatment. The study aims to address the relative benefits of providing either disorder-specific ADHD or RD treatment alone and providing the combined treatment. The investigators hypothesize that the combined treatment approach will result in better outcomes in terms of both word reading/decoding and a reduction in ADHD symptoms than either of the disorder-specific treatments alone. Treatment will last for 16 weeks, with assessment prior to and following treatment and some measures collected regularly throughout the intervention periods.

- •Attend a participating school in Grades 2-5
- •Have at least one parent or guardian who understands English well enough to participate in the behavioral parent training intervention.

排除标准
- •Any documented or suspected bipolar disorder, severe psychosis, or other severe emotional disturbance, developmental disability, or autism.
- •Receipt of primary school reading instruction in a language other than English.
- •A history or presence of cardiovascular problems that would contraindicate stimulant treatment.
- •Chronic vocal tics.
- •Children will be excluded if they are taking a concomitant medication that has the potential to significantly affect their ADHD symptoms, that would be contraindicated to take along with the study medication, or if they have not been on a stable dose of a psychotropic medication long enough to fully assess the clinical outcome or tolerability.
研究组 & 干预措施
Intensive Reading Instruction
Specialized phonologically-based reading instruction provided by well-trained tutors either individually (one-on-one) or to groups of two students for 45 minutes, four days per week, for 16 weeks. The instructional approach includes an individualized combination of published programs targeting word reading and decoding; reading fluency; and reading comprehension.
干预措施: Intensive reading instruction (Behavioral)
ADHD Intervention
Carefully-managed medication and behavioral parent training. Medication treatment begins with a four-week titration period, beginning with a trial of methylphenidate. If benefit is insufficient or side effects are intolerable, the physician may initiate a trial of mixed salt amphetamine, followed by either Atomoxetine or Guanfacine. When the optimum medication and dosage is determined the child returns for monthly medication maintenance visits until the end of the 16-week intervention period. Parent training consists of nine group sessions provided by a psychologist addressing ADHD and its treatment, principals of behavior modification, and evidence-supported practices for managing behavior.

结局指标
主要结局
Wechsler Individual Achievement Test-III (WIAT-III) Pseudoword Decoding Subtest
时间窗: Week 16 (End of Active Treatment Phase) and Follow-Up
The WIAT-III is an individually-administered test of academic achievement. In the Pseudoword Decoding subtest students read a list of increasingly difficult nonsense words as a test of their ability to use phonics to decode unknown words. Scores reported here are standardized scores with a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15. Higher scores represent a better outcome.
Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham Checklist for DSM-IV (SNAP)- Parent Rating of Hyperactivity-impulsivity
时间窗: 16 weeks (end of Active Treatment phase), and follow-up
Rating Scale of ADHD symptomology completed by parents and teachers. Raters evaluate how well each DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual) ADHD symptom describes a child on a four-point Likert scale (0=Not at all, 1=Just a little, 2=Quite a bit, 3=Very much). The measure shows adequate internal consistency (.94) and test-retest reliability (Bussing et al., 2008; Gau et al., 2008).
