Summary

This study tested whether an artificial intelligence tool could help therapists deliver better behavior therapy to minority adolescents with ADHD. Researchers worked with three community mental health agencies and 51 teens. Therapists received either AI-assisted supervision or standard supervision. The goal was to see if the AI tool improved how well therapists followed the therapy plan, not to directly measure patient outcomes.

What this could lead to

If successful, this approach could make behavior therapy more consistent and effective for underserved teens with ADHD.
