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疾病，会对受影响的儿童及其家庭造成严重的短期和长期损害。传统的行为家长训练（BPT）已被确定为治疗多动症儿童的有效方法。然而，并非所有家庭都能从最佳生产力培训中获得同等的好处。研究表明，家庭的具体特征预示着对BPT的反应较差。特别是单身母亲家庭更有可能遇到这种困难。该研究计划的目的是加强BPT，以增加被诊断患有ADHD儿童的单身母亲的参与，参与和结果。新的父母培训形式将进行调查，并在一项随机临床试验中与BPT计划进行比较，研究在行为父母培训中参与，保留和改善ADHD儿童的单身母亲的结果的最有效方法。

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.
