Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.

Book excerpt: Parental treatment preferences for children's mental health treatment have received the most attention using the construct of treatment acceptability. Research has reported that mothers generally endorse greater treatment acceptability for behavioral parent training (BPT) compared to stimulant medication for the treatment of symptoms of childhood Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). My study investigated the influence of experience parenting a child with ADHD in moderating mothers' ratings of treatment acceptability for these two treatments. I also investigated the influence of communicating information regarding the demands of BPT and the probability of experiencing side effects of stimulant medication on mothers' acceptability ratings. To expand the measurement of treatment acceptability beyond the usual rating scale approach, I also used a measure of treatment preferences. Mothers reported which treatment (BPT vs. medication) they would recommend and why, if they were advising the parent of a child with ADHD. Participants included 71 mothers of boys with ADHD and a comparison group of 71 mothers of boys without behavioral problems. As predicted experience with ADHD moderated treatment acceptability. Mothers in the comparison group endorsed greater acceptability for BPT compared to medication; however, mothers in the ADHD group did not differ in ratings of acceptability for BPT and medication. In addition, mothers in the ADHD group endorsed greater treatment acceptability for stimulant medication compared to mothers in the comparison group. The two groups of mothers did not differ in their ratings of acceptability for BPT. This difference also emerged on the alternate measure of treatment acceptability. Mothers in the ADHD group were over six times more likely to report that they would recommend stimulant medication over BPT, compared to mothers in the comparison group. Although mothers identified treatment demands and risks as important contributors t.

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: Although researchers have begun to investigate the potential mediators and moderators that impact the treatment responses of children diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), limited information has been published regarding the role of parental expectancy effects. Previous research has indicated that the desired effects parents hold at baseline about their children's treatment do not likely contribute to variation in actual outcome ratings. The present study prospectively assessed the role of baseline parent expectations of treatment benefit in actual, post-treatment ratings of 1) symptom severity and 2) global improvement in a sample of 85 children and adolescents who participated in an intensive summer treatment program. Results revealed that parent expectations predicted post-treatment scores on both narrowband and broadband measures, but not on a measure of global improvement, after controlling for baseline scores. These findings suggest that clinicians and researchers may consider parent expectations of treatment benefit when developing future research and treatment protocols.

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.
