NCT ID NCT07790432
First seen Aug 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.
