Summary

The purpose of this study is to pilot test for feasibility and initial promise an implementation strategy resource package that aims to support caregivers in using behavioral interventions for children with hyperactive, inattentive, or impulsive behaviors, when provided as an adjunct to a resource package for teachers. Participating children will be randomized at the classroom level to one of two conditions: a) their teacher and caregiver receive the resource package, or b) only their teacher receive the resource package. The research team will examine teacher and caregiver implementation outcomes and mental health outcomes for enrolled children.

Detailed description

Evidence-based interventions for children with or at-risk for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) include antecedent- and consequence- based behavioral interventions in both the classroom and home settings as well as effective home-school communication approaches. Schools are a promising setting in which to provide early intervention for mental health challenges and to increase access to mental health care. Furthermore, stronger integration between home- and school- based interventions has the potential to meaningfully improve child outcomes. However, there are substantial implementation challenges to caregivers' use of these evidence-based interventions. The purpose of this study is to pilot test for feasibility and initial promise an implementation strategy resource package that aims to support caregivers in using behavioral interventions for children with hyperactive, inattentive, or impulsive behaviors, when provided as an adjunct to a resource package for teachers. Participating children will be randomized at the classroom level to one of two conditions: a) both teacher and caregiver receive the resource package, or b) only the teacher receive the resource package. The research team will examine teacher and caregiver implementation outcomes and mental health outcomes for enrolled children.
