Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This study aims to develop, refine and preliminarily test a novel and scalable digital health solution designed to address parent adherence barriers in daily life contexts and increase parent's sustained use of evidence-based parenting strategies.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for children aged 6-11 with significant ADHD symptoms, attending a participating SFUSD elementary school in a mainstream classroom. They must have challenges with attention or hyperactivity/impulsivity identified by school mental health professionals and live with a caretaker who can participate in treatment. Children cannot join if they have severe sensory impairments, language delays, psychosis, pervasive developmental disorders, or intellectual impairments.

Inclusion Criteria

You are attending a participating SFUSD elementary school full time in a mainstream classroom.

My child is between 6 and 11 years old and in grades 1-5.

Absence of significant visual/hearing impairment, severe language delay, psychosis, pervasive developmental disorder, or global intellectual impairment per school records

Participant Groups

The study tests a digital health solution aimed at helping parents adhere to behavioral treatments for their child's ADHD. It involves using the 'CaregiverAssist' program alongside traditional Behavioral Parent Training (CLS Parent Group) to see if it improves the use of parenting strategies.

Group I: dHealth tool and BPT Group Experimental Treatment 2 Interventions

Parents and School Mental Health Providers (SMHPs) will participate in a 2-month trial during which they will use a digital Health (dHealth) tool in daily life contexts while receiving BPT, aimed to improve parent adherence sustained use of evidence-based parenting strategies. They will also participate in focus groups and discussions to facilitate the build, design, and use of the dHealth.

Group II: BPT Group Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Parents and School Mental Health Providers (SMHPs) will participate in a 2-month trial during which they will be receiving BPT without the use of a digital Health (dHealth) tool.
