NCT ID NCT04082234
First seen Jul 10, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a behavior therapy program called Partnering to Achieve School Success (PASS) can improve outcomes for children aged 5-11 with ADHD from low-income families. Children are randomly assigned to receive PASS integrated into their primary care visits or to receive standard ADHD care. The goal is to see if integrating therapy into primary care improves access, reduces symptoms, and boosts school performance and behavior.
