Book excerpt: This Future Research Needs (FRN) report is based on a draft Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) comparative effectiveness review, “Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Effectiveness of Treatment in At-risk Preschoolers; Long-Term Effectiveness in All Ages; and Variability in Prevalence, Diagnosis, and Treatment.” The Key Questions (KQs) were: KQ 1: Among children less than 6 years of age with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or Disruptive Behavior Disorder, what are the effectiveness and adverse event outcomes following treatment? KQ 2: Among people ages 6 years or older with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, what are the effectiveness and adverse event outcomes following 12 months or more of any combination of followup or treatment, including, but not limited to, 12 months or more of continuous treatment? KQ 3: How do (a) underlying prevalence of ADHD, and (b) rates of diagnosis (clinical identification) and treatment for ADHD vary by geography, time period, provider type, and sociodemographic characteristics? Findings in the draft review for KQ 1 supported the use of parent behavior training in preschoolers both for oppositional behaviors and for ADHD symptoms, with no adverse events reported. For preschoolers, psychostimulant medications are also generally safe and efficacious for improving behavior and can provide benefits in addition to parent training. However, adverse events, especially irritability and moodiness, can lead to discontinuation, and use for several months to a year slightly affects growth rate. For KQ 2, long-term effectiveness and safety studies of several psychostimulants in children over the age of 6 years and adolescents found they are efficacious for control of inattention and overactivity for extended periods of time. Few serious adverse events were noted. Publications from the Multimodal Treatment Study of Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (MTA) study provide the best data for long-term outcomes. By 3 years, no single intervention group showed superior benefit, which is likely because of individuals obtaining a complex range of interventions in the community. The findings for KQ 3 included results from a systematic review and meta-regression that estimated the prevalence of ADHD among those ages 18 or younger at 5.29 percent, with more boys than girls identified and the highest rates of disorder occurring in 5- to 10-year-olds. Primary sources of variability were identified as methodological rather than geographic. Fewer studies are available that document prevalence in adult, adolescent, or preschool age groups. In this project, we worked with a group of stakeholders to refine 29 identified research gaps and transform them into eight highest-priority research needs in the field of ADHD. These highest-level needs included a broad range of issues cutting across age range (above and below 6 years of age), key clinical issues, and epidemiological and measurement concerns. Within this group of eight, clear themes emerged: the need for improved measurement tools, more generalizable study populations and settings, longer follow-up periods, more understanding of patient-level predictors of response, and more comparative evaluation of psychopharmacologic, psychosocial, and combination interventions across age ranges. PICOTS construction aided our consideration of study design issues and our sample power analyses demonstrated the clear pragmatic barriers that many of the potential designs will present. Advanced secondary data analysis methods may allow some of these complex questions to be addressed in a more cost effective manner but will not be able to fully replace the need for new large, long-term trials to evaluate these complex research needs in ADHD.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Doctoral Project proposes the development of a program design to provide stability to families whose child has been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The methods in the program that were utilized as part of treatment are non-intrusive. This Project will examine research studies related to treating families with children of ADHD, the variety of treatment as well as the parental factors the impedes on treatment. This doctoral project design will encompass a multimodal treatment approach that will include an evaluation and psychotherapeutic approach to the treatment of the child and the family. Its goal will be to reduce the acting out behaviors in children as reported by the parents and the teacher, decrease parenting stress, and improve the mother-child interaction. This doctoral project will differ from other programs designed to help this population in that it will incorporate the positive results that research studies have shown in treating parents' level of stress, and depression. As a result, this will have a positive impact on the relationship between the parent and the child and ultimately improving the child's behavior. The individual therapy for the parent will be a very important component to this program. Its primary treatment goals are: to help the parent identify the triggers that promote stressed, to recognize the coping skills needed to decrease the frequency and/or intensity of the stressful situation that may have an impact on the parent/child relationship. According to the earliest model of stress and parenting, proposed by Abidin, (1990) the degree of parenting stress is determined by parent factors such as: health, depression, sense of competence, personality, and psychopathology; and child factors such as adaptability, acceptability, demandingness, mood, hyperactivity, and the reinforcement the parent are receiving. Social-environmental factors such as parent role restrictions, spousal relationship, and social support also need to be taken into consideration. Parenting stress tends to promote dysfunctional parenting, decreasing the possibility of raising a psychological healthy child (Abidin, 1990).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this review is to (1) critically examine the effectiveness and adverse events of interventions in preschool children with clinically significant disruptive behavior and therefore at high risk for ADHD; (2) critically examine the comparative long-term effectiveness and adverse events of interventions for ADHD (pharmacological, psychosocial, or behavioral, and the combination of pharmacological and psychosocial or behavioral interventions); and (3) summarize what is known about patterns of identification and treatment for the condition. Factors examined include geography, sociodemographics, temporal aspects, and provider background. This systematic appraisal also identifies gaps in the existing literature that will inform directions for future research. The Key Questions are as follows: (1) Among children younger than 6 years of age with ADHD or DBD, what are the effectiveness and adverse event outcomes following treatment?; (2) Among people 6 years of age or older with ADHD, what are the effectiveness and adverse event outcomes following 12 months or more of any combination of followup or treatment, including, but not limited to, 12 months or more of continuous treatment?; (3) How do (a) underlying prevalence of ADHD and (b) rates of diagnosis (clinical identification) and treatment for ADHD vary by geography, time period, provider type, and sociodemographic characteristics?

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Background The efficacy of parent-child training (PCT) regarding child symptoms may be reduced if the mother has attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The AIMAC study (ADHD in Mothers and Children) aimed to compensate for the deteriorating effect of parental psychopathology by treating the mother (Step 1) before the beginning of PCT (Step 2). This secondary analysis was particularly concerned with the additional effect of the Step 2 PCT on child symptoms after the Step 1 treatment. Methods The analysis included 143 mothers and children (aged 6-12 years) both diagnosed with ADHD. The study design was a two-stage, two-arm parallel group trial (Step 1 treatment group [TG]: intensive treatment of the mother including psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy; Step 1 control group [CG]: supportive counseling only for mother; Step 2 TG and CG: PCT). Single- and multi-group analyses with piecewise linear latent growth curve models were applied to test for the effects of group and phase. Child symptoms (e.g., ADHD symptoms, disruptive behavior) were rated by three informants (blinded clinician, mother, teacher). Results Children in the TG showed a stronger improvement of their disruptive behavior as rated by mothers than those in the CG during Step 1 (Step 1: TG vs. CG). In the CG, according to reports of the blinded clinician and the mother, the reduction of children's disruptive behavior was stronger during Step 2 than during Step 1 (CG: Step 1 vs. Step 2). In the TG, improvement of child outcome did not differ across treatment steps (TG: Step 1 vs. Step 2). Conclusions Intensive treatment of the mother including pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy may have small positive effects on the child's disruptive behavior. PCT may be a valid treatment option for children with ADHD regarding disruptive behavior, even if mothers are not intensively treated beforehand

This book was released on 2007 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite prior research indicating Parent Training (PT) is an efficacious treatment for children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD), few conclusions can be made about the efficacy given the inconsistent manner in which PT programs have been implemented. Also remaining unclear is whether reported clinical improvements are due to altered parenting styles or other factors targeted by PT programs. In response to this situation, the current study conducted a therapeutic component analysis to determine whether a complete PT program, which included contingency management and AD/HD counseling (Anastopoulos & Barkley, 1990), was superior to a didactic-attention control (D-AC) group, which only taught AD/HD counseling. A total of 126 clinic-referred children with ADHD, between 6 and 11 years of age, and their parent(s) participated. Although increases in knowledge of AD/HD and contingency management were reported as predicted, differences in treatment effectiveness across the two groups did not emerge as anticipated; both groups experienced improvements related to child, parent, and family functioning. However, treatment-related group differences were evident with respect to child emotional functioning suggesting PT was superior to the D-AC group. These findings were examined in terms of their clinical significance using methodology by Jacobson and Truax (1991). Findings indicate that treatment aimed at increasing knowledge of AD/HD, which is rarely integrated into behavioral treatments, may enhance existing treatments.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children’s books play an integral role in the growth and development of children and can be used to help children face a multitude of challenges (Jackson, 2006). Today, books are used in conjunction with other therapeutic methods for the treatment of a variety of childhood mental health problems, including Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), in a process known as bibliotherapy (Heath et al., 2005; Iaquinta & Hipsky, 2006; Pardeck, 1990, 1994). By reading a bibliotherapeutic treatment book and identifying with a character who is like them and dealing with a similar problem (e.g., ADHD), children can gain understanding and heal emotionally as they apply their insight of the character’s difficulty to their own life, come up with possible solutions and coping strategies for the issue, and feel like they are not the only one with this problem (Heath et al., 2005; Iaquinta & Hipsky, 2006; Jackson, 2006). Based on a systematic and thorough review of the literature, a guidebook, Using Bibliotherapy as an Adjunct Treatment for Children with ADHD: A Guidebook for Parents, was created to assist parents in utilizing bibliotherapy as an adjunct treatment for their school-aged children (i.e., ages six to 12) with ADHD. Specifically, the guide is intended to be a beneficial resource to help parents increase their knowledge about the benefits of shared reading with their children; provide an overview of bibliotherapy including its definition, goals, process, benefits, limitations, and effectiveness; outline anticipated treatment outcomes of using bibliotherapy as an adjunct to treatment with regard to children’s self-esteem, hopefulness, and symptom understanding; present psychoeducation about ADHD; and finally, provide best practices and bibliotherapeutic treatment book and additional resource recommendations. Limitations and directions for future research are also discussed.

Download or read book The Efficacy of Working Memory Training for Children and Adolescents with Attention deficit hyperactivity Disorder Combined Type Compared to Children and Adolescents with Attention deficit hyperactivity Disorder Primarily Inattentive Type written by Synthia Sandoval Puffenberger and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This study investigated the efficacy of a computer based working memory training program for 51 children and adolescence between the ages of 7 and 17. All participants involved in the study were classified as having ADHD, with either the primarily inattentive or combined type. Parents and teachers provided ratings of executive function and ADHD symptoms of participants before treatment, one month and four months following treatment. Data in this study were analyzed by ADHD subtype to better determine if any differences could be found by subtype population. At post treatment parents rated the DSM Inattentive group as improving on measures of both executive function and ADHD symptoms. Parent reported changes appeared to persist at four month follow up for this group. Teachers also reported change from pre to post treatment for the DSM Inattentive group on the BRIEF Initiate scale. There were no reported significant changes for the DSM combined group by either parent or teacher report from pre to post treatment. Regression analysis using the Conners' scales of inattention, hyperactivity, and oppositional at pre treatment as predictors for change at post treatment and four month follow up found that by parent report for the DSM Combined group, ratings of hyperactivity and opposition at pre treatment were negatively related to change post treatment. However, according to teacher report, opposition, hyperactivity, and inattention were positively related to reported change post treatment for both the Inattentive and Combined subtypes of ADHD. This data suggest that this training may be beneficial as an adjunct treatment for children with ADHD to focus on executive functioning deficits. This training may be more beneficial for those diagnosed with the Inattentive type of ADHD, possibly due to the detrimental or interfering behaviors of hyperactive and impulsive symptoms found in the Combined type population. However, more research is necessary to determine the validity of the treatment effects found, as well as if these findings are enduring. It is also necessary to determine if these findings go beyond 3rd party report and if they can also be found through objective measures of the participants, (i.e. using the Automated Working Memory Assessment or the Tower of London).
