| Description: |
Parenting a child with ADHD can be stressful, yet most
evidence-based treatments for ADHD do not include components addressing
parental stress/depression. The objective of the project is to develop
and evaluate a novel, integrated approach to behavioral parent training
for mothers of children with ADHD who are experiencing significant
stress and/or depression.
To be included in this study, mothers must:
- be the child's biological parent
- have at least mild symptoms of depression
- not be diagnosed with current substance abuse, psychosis, bipolar
disorder, or other problems that warrant immediate treatment
In addition, their children must:
- be between the ages of 6-12
- be diagnosed with ADHD
- have an IQ within the normal range
Qualifying families will receive:
- Free psychological assessments of mother and child
- Free child evaluation report
- Free, 14-week parenting group
- Monetary compensation
