Summary

Researchers are studying how stress levels in caregivers of children with ADHD relate to the social support they perceive and the time children spend on screens. The study will include 385 caregivers of children aged 6 to 12 diagnosed with ADHD. Participants will fill out questionnaires measuring their stress, perceived social support, and their child's daily screen time. The goal is to understand these connections better, which could help design future support programs for families.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If this study succeeds, it could point toward better support strategies for parents of children with ADHD, potentially easing their stress and improving family well-being.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The findings may not apply to all caregivers, and the results depend on accurate self-reporting.
