Summary
This study tested a modified behavioral parent training program for children with ADHD who also have peer problems. The program aimed to increase parent engagement, especially for parents with their own ADHD or depression symptoms. Thirty-three parents participated, and researchers measured attendance, homework completion, and changes in parenting behavior. The goal was to understand what helps parents connect with and benefit from the training.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help improve how parent training programs are designed for families where parents also have ADHD or depression, leading to better support for children.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 33 participants, so results may not apply to all families. The study measures engagement and parenting changes, not direct child outcomes, so benefits are uncertain.
