Summary

This trial tests a five-session psychoeducation program designed to help parents of children with ADHD prepare for and cope with disasters. The program covers disaster preparedness, crisis communication, behavior management, emotional regulation, and post-disaster recovery. Researchers will compare outcomes between parents who receive the program and those who do not, measuring changes in parenting confidence, disaster preparedness, and child behavior. The goal is to see if this structured training can strengthen family resilience and reduce distress in a high-risk population.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A five-session behavioral psychoeducation program for parents, covering disaster preparedness, crisis communication, behavior management, emotional regulation, and post-disaster recovery.
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could give parents practical tools to support children with ADHD before, during, and after disasters, potentially reducing anxiety and behavioral problems in these children.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with 60 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program's success depends on parent engagement and may not fully address the complex needs of children with ADHD in real disaster situations.
