ADHD Clinical Trial

Official title: Encouraging Positive Parenting Habits Through Digital Media

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates the feasibility and preliminary impacts of a new parenting program consisting of a series of educational videos, delivered via a popular texting platform. For this pilot project, the program content is focused on teaching parents strategies to better manage one of the commonly reported challenges that children face, a transition to a non-preferred activity. Parents with young children demonstrating behavior consistent with ADHD and experiencing difficulties with daily transition routines are invited to participate in the study.

Clinical Trial Description

This pilot study employs a pre-post, open trial design with the primary aim to investigate the feasibility of delivering parenting educational materials in a highly accessible format, i.e., a widely used texting platform. The training videos demonstrate the applications of antecedent- and reinforcement-based behavior management techniques in a specific situation and encourage parents to build positive parenting habits. The program usability and satisfaction will be assessed through ratings and answers to open-ended questions by participating parents. The study targets parents of children demonstrating symptoms of ADHD. These families frequently experience difficulties managing everyday routines at home, yet the access to psychosocial treatment is limited. The investigators expect parents to engage well in the program delivered via digital media. Based on the existing literature on the effectiveness of behavior parent training delivered in traditional in-person format, a moderate effect size is expected in the pre-post measures of parenting practices and the child target behavior for this study. ;
