Primary |
Feasibility measured by count of consumed micronutrients |
Feasibility will be determined based on consumption of 2-3 capsules, three times a day (or less if a smaller dose is determined by study staff to be appropriate) and achieved when greater than or equal to 75% of dose is consumed at week 4 and at week 8. |
Week 4, Week 8 |
|
Primary |
Abbreviated Acceptability Rating Profile - 7 questions on a 6-point Likert scale |
Acceptability of taking the micronutrients will be measured through 7 questions with a 6-point Likert scale (range: Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree). Acceptability will be achieved if greater than or equal to 70% of children and parents report that taking the capsuled micronutrients is acceptable, at or above the "Agree" range - scores of 5 or 6. |
Week 8 |
|
Secondary |
Feasibility of Capillary Blood Collection |
Feasibility will be measured as the frequency/percentage of children who provide capillary blood sample using the self-administered Tasso® OnDemand SST+ device. Device use will be considered feasible if greater than or equal to 70% of children provide the sample. |
Baseline, Week 8 |
|
Secondary |
Acceptability of Capillary Blood Collection |
Acceptability will be a 6-point Likert scale (range: Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree), and brief qualitative feedback regarding the blood collection process. Acceptability will be achieved if greater than or equal to 70% of children and parents report that using the Tasso device is acceptable at or above the "Agree" range - scores of 5 or 6. |
Baseline, Week 8 |
|
Secondary |
Feasibility of Collecting 24-hour Urine |
Feasibility will be measured as the frequency/percentage who provide at least 3 of the 4 urine samples in the 24-hour period, measured at two time points: baseline and week 8. At-home collection of dried urine samples will be considered feasible if greater than or equal to 70% of children provide the sample. |
4x on one day only to reflect 24-hour urine collection - Baseline, Week 8 |
|
Secondary |
Acceptability of Collecting 24-hour Urine |
Acceptability will be a 6-point Likert scale and brief qualitative feedback regarding the urine collection process (range: Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree). Acceptability will be achieved if greater than or equal to 70% of children and parents report that the at-home dried urine collection method is acceptable at or above the "Agree" range - scores of 5 or 6. |
Week 8 |
|
Secondary |
Child and Adolescent Symptom Inventory (CASI-5) |
The CASI-5 is based on the DSM-5 symptom criteria. The subscales of ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD) and peer conflict will be combined into a total composite score; range is 0-3 (never, sometimes, often, very often). Higher scores represent a worse outcome. These scores will be used to look for signals of change over time. |
Baseline, Week 4, Week 8 |
|
Secondary |
Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I) |
The clinician-rated CGI-Improvement (CGI-I) is a subscale of the CGI that rates overall improvement of symptoms based on all relevant data. Item range is 1-7 (very much improved, much improved, minimally improved, no change, minimally worse, much worse, very much worse); lower score is better. A treatment responder is defined as a participant who is rated a 1 or 2 on the CGI-I. These scores will be used to look for signals of change over time. |
Week 4, Week 8 |
|
Secondary |
Clinical Global Impression - Severity (CGI-S) |
The CGI-Severity (CGI-S) subscale will be scored at baseline and week 8, with scores compared at the two time points. Item range is 1-7 (normal, borderline ill, mildly ill, moderately ill, markedly ill, severely ill, among the most extremely ill patients); lower score is better; most participants will be a 4 or 5 at baseline. These scores will be used to look for signals of change over time. |

Automated Self-Administered 24-Hour Dietary Assessment Tool (ASA-24) |
Parent report of child's 24-hour dietary intake The Automated Self-Administered 24-hour (ASA24®) Dietary Assessment Tool is a free, web-based tool. ASA-24 enables multiple, automatically coded, self-administered 24-hour diet recalls and/or single or multi-day food records. Parent will report of child's 24-hour dietary intake at baseline and at week 8. These scores will be used to look control for dietary differences at baseline and to control for dietary changes over time. |
Baseline and Week 8 |
|
Secondary |
Parent Target Problem (PTP) using Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) |
Parents are prompted to nominate the child's most impairing behavior and qualitatively describe it, then quantitatively report: 1) frequency: how often the problem behavior occurs (times a day, week), 2) duration: how long the problem behavior lasts when it occurs, 3) intensity: how impairing is it on a scale of 1 to 10. Reporting on the behavior will occur every other day, at home, in response to a pre-populated questionnaire designed to be completed in one-two minutes or less, which may be accessed on a mobile phone, tablet or computer. Data will be used to detect signals of change over time. |
Baseline to Week 8 on alternate days |
|
Secondary |
Feasibility of Collecting Real-Time EMA Parent Target Problem (PTP) |
Feasibility will explore the average number of timepoints the parent/caregiver provided EMA data during the prior weeks before their week 4 and week 8 visit. At-home completion of parent-target-problems will be considered feasible if parents respond to greater than or equal to 70% of the prompts. |
Week 4, Week 8 |
|
Secondary |
Acceptability of Collecting Real-Time EMA Parent Target Problem (PTP) |
Acceptability will be a 6-point Likert scale and brief qualitative feedback regarding the EMA data collection process (range: Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree). Acceptability will be achieved if greater than or equal to 70% of parents report that the EMA data collection method is acceptable at or above the "Agree" range, scores of 5 or 6. |
Week 8 |
|
Secondary |
Pediatric Adverse Events Rating Scale (PAERS) |
Parent will report on possible side effects using PAERS to respond to presence, frequency and severity of 43-items, including: headache, dry mouth, sleep disruptions, nausea, irritability, fatigue, anxiety, changes in appetite, skin rash, migraines, and other (parents specify the symptom). Occurrence of these data will be reported at week 4 and 8. |
Baseline, Week 4, Week 8 |

Reasons for Dropout |
In order to assess for acceptability, parents whose children drop out of the study before week 7 will be contacted to ask, qualitatively, their reason for dropout. The responses will be recorded and reported .+ |
Before week 7 |
