Summary

The goal of this 1-year project is to evaluate a service delivery model by peer support organizations to increase mental health service access and utilization for children at risk for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) from socioeconomically disadvantaged, urban communities. Behavioral parent training \[BPT\] currently delivered directly by Family Peer Advocates (FPAs), will be evaluated in a sample of 18 families on child outcomes.

Detailed description

The goal of this 1-year project is to further refine and evaluate an existing and employed potentially highly sustainable and scalable service delivery model that leverages peer support organizations to increase mental health service access and utilization for children at risk for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) from socioeconomically disadvantaged, urban communities by improving the delivery of an evidence-based treatment (i.e., behavioral parent training \[BPT\]) currently delivered directly by Family Peer Advocates (FPAs) to parents of these children. Specifically, through an iterative, single-case cohort design, the investigators will work with FPAs to iteratively refine an existing and employed intervention model with three cohorts of parents (n= 6 families/cohort over 3 cohorts with a total sample size of 18 families). the investigators will collect information from parents before, during and after BPT to assess the impact of BPT on parents perceptions of their child's behavior and functioning, and parenting factors (e.g., parenting behavior, stress, depressive symptoms). In addition, the investigators will utilize this project to gain a better understanding of how best the position the FPA ADHD Model within the broader service delivery system through qualitative interviews with these parents to assess their experience and insights into improving the model. This research project is an effort at evaluating an existing intervention model and refining it through an iterative process.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Behavioral Parent Training (MATCH Protocol)	BPT. Behavioral Parent Training (BPT) is a well-established psychosocial intervention for the treatment for ADHD and related behavioral difficulties (e.g., oppositional problems). BPT is based on social learning and operant conditioning principles in which parents are instructed to utilize methods (e.g., praise, effective communication, reward systems, time-out from positive reinforcement) to facilitate positive behaviors in their child (e.g., compliance) and reduce challenging behaviors (e.g., opposition). BPT comes in several manualized, commercially available manuals. The version of BPT that we will be utilizing is from the MATCH protocol (Chorpita and Weisz, 2009), which consists of 10 components, delivered with individual families, typically over the course of 10-16 weekly individual meetings (total meetings depends upon parent availability and acquisition of BPT skills).
