First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a behavioral parent education program (PEAK) can help reduce ADHD symptoms in 180 children aged 3 to 5 who show early signs of the condition. Parents will receive the training either face-to-face or online, and researchers will compare outcomes to a waitlist group. The goal is to see if teaching parents specific strategies improves child behavior, parenting skills, and family stress levels.
