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?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first book to describe empirically-supported early intervention with children aged 2-5 years who have or are at risk for ADHD, the authors present a three-tiered model for prevention and intervention that can be implemented at home or in preschool settings. This promising model can be adjusted to the degree of difficulty the child is experiencing and consists of universal intervention strategies, small group skills instruction, and assessment-based behavioral interventions. Lively case examples drawn from the authors' clinical experience illustrate common challenges of implementation. The authors also describe how to foster children's early academic skills and promote their physical safety.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurobehavioral disorder and also among the most prevalent chronic health conditions affecting school-age children (American Academy of Pediatrics, 2000). Studies indicate that although ADHD has a significant negative impact on both genders, it can manifest somewhat differently with boys and girls. It is not yet known how early in life these gender differences first appear. The purpose of the current study was to comprehensively examine gender differences in home and school functioning in a sample of preschool-age children with ADHD. The participants included 107 boys and 29 girls who ranged between 3 and 5 years of age and met DSM-IV-TR (American Psychiatric Association, 2000) criteria for one of the three subtypes of ADHD. The results indicate that preschool-age boys and girls with ADHD are very similar in most of the areas of functioning. In the area of behavioral functioning, when the relative standing of the boys and girls with ADHD to other children of same gender was examined, it was found that girls had significantly more difficulty with the primary symptoms of ADHD than boys with ADHD. Possible reasons for the findings, implications for practice, and directions for future research are discussed.

This book was released on 2013-04-06 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a condition characterized by inattention, overactivity, and impulsivity, are most frequently identified and treated in primary school. Population studies indicate that 5 percent of children worldwide show impaired levels of attention and hyperactivity. Boys are classified with ADHD approximately twice as frequently as girls, and primary school-age children approximately twice as frequently as adolescents. ADHD symptoms exist on a continuum in the general population and are considered a “disorder” to a greater or lesser degree, depending on the source of identification (e.g., parent or teacher), extent of functional impairment, diagnostic criteria, and the threshold chosen for defining a “case.” The developmentally excessive levels of inattention, overactivity, and impulsivity characteristic of ADHD are present from an early age. However, preschoolers with early signs of ADHD may also have co-occurring oppositional noncompliant behaviors, temper tantrums, and aggression that overshadow symptoms of inattention and overactivity and confound the diagnosis. These behaviors may be given the more general label of disruptive behavior disorder (DBD), which includes oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and conduct disorder (CD), as well as ADHD. If not already identified at an early age, preschool youngsters with ODD frequently meet criteria for ADHD by grade school. 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 to be 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 (KQs) are as follows. KQ1. Among children younger than 6 years of age with ADHD or DBD, what are the effectiveness and adverse event outcomes following treatment? KQ2. 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? KQ3. 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?

Book excerpt: OBJECTIVES: (1) Compare effectiveness and adverse events of interventions (pharmacological, psychosocial, or behavioral, and the combination of pharmacological and psychosocial or behavioral interventions) for preschoolers at high risk for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); (2) compare long-term effectiveness and adverse events of interventions for ADHD among persons of all ages; and (3) describe how identification and treatment for ADHD vary by geography, time period, provider type, and sociodemographic characteristics, compared with endemic prevalence. DATA SOURCES: MEDLINE(r), Cochrane CENTRAL, EMBASE, PsycInfo, and ERIC (Education Resources Information Center) were searched from 1980 to May 31, 2010. Reference lists of included studies and gray literature were searched manually. REVIEW METHODS: Reviewers applied preset criteria to screen all citations. Decisions required agreement between two independent reviewers, with disagreements regarding inclusion or exclusion resolved by a third. The Effective Public Health Practice Project (EPHPP) process was used to evaluate internal validity of publications regarding interventions for preschoolers at high risk of ADHD and long-term outcomes following interventions for ADHD in persons of all ages. Overall strength of the evidence (SOE) was assessed using the GRADE approach, accounting for risk of bias and study design, consistency of results, directness of evidence, and degree of certainty regarding outcomes of interest. RESULTS: Of included studies, only a subset could be pooled statistically using meta-analytic techniques. For the first objective, we rated as "good" quality eight studies of parent behavior training (PBT) with 424 participants. These demonstrated high SOE for improving child behavior (standardized mean difference [SMD] = 0.68; 95-percent confidence interval [CI], 0.88 to 0.47). A single "good" quality study of methylphenidate (MPH) with 114 preschool children provided low SOE for improving child behavior (SMD = -0.83; 95-percent CI, -1.21 to -0.44). Adverse effects were present for preschool children treated with MPH; adverse effects were not mentioned for PBT. For the second objective, the majority of studies were open extension trials without continuation of untreated comparison groups. Evidence from the single "good" quality study of MPH demonstrated low SOE for reduction of symptoms, with SMD = 0.54 (95-percent CI, 0.79 to 0.29). Evidence from the single "good" quality study of atomoxetine demonstrated low SOE for reduction of symptoms, with SMD = 0.40 (95-percent CI, 0.61 to 0.18). Evidence from the single "good" quality study of combined psychostimulant medication with behavioral/psychosocial interventions provided low SOE, with SMD = 0.70 (95-percent CI, 0.95 to 0.46). Safety reports for pharmacological interventions derived from observational studies on uncontrolled extensions of clinical trials, as well as from administrative databases, provided inconclusive evidence for growth, cerebrovascular, and cardiac adverse effects. Evidence that psychostimulant use in childhood improves long-term outcomes was inconclusive. For the third objective, a discussion of contextual issues and factors relating to underlying prevalence and rates of diagnosis and treatment was included. Population-based data were relatively scarce and lacked uniform methods and settings, which interfered with interpretation. The available evidence suggested that underlying prevalence of ADHD varies less than rates of diagnosis and treatment. Patterns of diagnosis and treatment appeared to be associated with such factors as locale, time period, and patient or provider characteristics. CONCLUSIONS: The SOE for PBT as the first-line intervention for improved behavior among preschoolers at risk for ADHD was high, while the SOE for methylphenidate for improved behavior among preschoolers was low. Evidence regarding long-term outcomes following interventions for ADHD was sparse among persons of all ages, and therefore inconclusive, with one exception. Primary school-age children, mostly boys with ADHD combined type, showed improvements in symptomatic behavior maintained for 12 to 14 months using pharmacological agents, specifically methylphenidate medication management or atomoxetine. Other subgroups, interventions, and long-term outcomes were under-researched. Evidence regarding large-scale patterns of diagnosis and treatment compared with endemic rates of disorder was inconclusive.
