Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

The purpose of this study is to integrate digital health (dHealth) technology into the Collaborative Life Skills Program (CLS), an established, school-based behavioral intervention for students with ADHD, to make the program accessible to schools that serve students from low-socioeconomic (SES) backgrounds. Existing evidence-based interventions for students with ADHD are often inaccessible in schools with limited resources to support implementation. By adapting CLS to include a dHealth tool-CLS-D-investigators aim to improve the feasibility of intervention implementation in schools with limited resources and mitigate disparities in access to evidence-based interventions among students with ADHD who are from low-SES backgrounds.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for students in grades 2-5 with attention and behavior issues, enrolled in San Diego or San Francisco Bay area schools that offer free/reduced lunch. It includes their caregivers, school mental health professionals, and teachers. Excluded are those with severe language delays, psychosis, pervasive developmental disorders, global intellectual impairments, significant sensory impairments or other disabilities related to ADHD.

Inclusion Criteria

Students must be enrolled in the school districts in the San Diego or San Francisco Bay area

Students must be eligible for free or reduced lunch

Students must be identified by teachers, school mental health professionals, and/or parents with students who have inattention and behavioral problems

Exclusion Criteria

Participant Groups

The study tests the Collaborative Life Skills dHealth tool (CLS-D), a digital adaptation of an established behavioral intervention for ADHD students. The goal is to make it feasible for resource-limited schools serving low-SES backgrounds to support these students effectively.

Group I: Collaborative Life Skills Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Student, parents, and teachers in the intervention condition will receive the digitally adapted Collaborative Life Skills program.

Group II: Business As Usual Active Control 1 Intervention

Students in the control condition will receive the usual services their schools provide to students with or at risk for ADHD in grades 2-5.
