Treatment for single mothers of children with ADHD

描述(由申请人提供)：注意力缺陷/多动障碍是一种慢性障碍，会对受影响的儿童及其家庭造成严重的短期和长期损害。传统的父母行为训练(BPT)已被认为是治疗ADHD儿童的有效方法。然而，并不是所有的家庭都能从最佳做法中获得同等的好处。研究表明，家庭的特殊特征预示着对BPT的反应较差。特别是，单亲母亲家庭更有可能经历这样的困难。该研究计划的目的是加强BPT，以增加被诊断为ADHD儿童的单身母亲的参与、参与度和结果。在一项随机临床试验中，将对这种新的父母培训形式进行调查，并将其与BPT计划进行比较，该试验旨在调查参与、保留和改善ADHD儿童的单亲母亲在行为父母培训中的最有效手段。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is a chronic disorder that results in substantial short-term and long-term impairment for affected children and their families. Traditional behavioral parent training (BPT) has been identified as an efficacious treatment for children with ADHD. Not all families, however, derive equal benefits from BPT. Research has indicated that specific characteristics of the family predict a poorer response to BPT. In particular, single-mother households are more likely to experience such difficulty. The aim of the research program is to enhance BPT to increase participation, engagement, and outcomes for single mothers of children diagnosed with ADHD. The novel parent training format will be investigated and compared to a BPT program in a randomized clinical trial investigating the most efficacious means of engaging, retaining, and improving outcomes for single-mothers of children with ADHD in behavioral parent training.
