Can helping parents help kids with ADHD? new study explores the link

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: Parents who participate in this study must meet the following criteria: 1. have a child (age 6-11) with elevated ADHD symptoms and peer difficulties; 2. have at minimum subclinical levels of depression and/or ADHD determined by self-report on symptom measures (parents with clinical levels are eligible); 3. be the primary parent involved with the child and their social life. Exclusion Criteria: Parents will be excluded if: 1. they cannot understand or speak English at a 9th grade level as they will be unable to participate in PFC+ (delivered in English) or complete questionnaires (reading/writing at the 9th grade level is not required as parents can be provided support in reading questionnaires and PFC+ content is delivered verbally); 2. they require alternative supports for more pressing mental health concerns (such that it would not be in their best interest to delay those other supports in order to participate in the current study), this might include schizophrenia, psychosis, a personality disorder, autism, intellectual disability, suicidal ideation, or self harm (they will be referred to alternative supports as needed); 3. they are participating in a different BPT program at the same time as they are projected to participate in PFC+; 4. if their 6-11 year old child has autism, pervasive developmental disorder, diagnosed or suspected intellectual disability, psychosis, or active suicidality (they will be referred to alternative supports as needed); 5. if their child does understand or speak English at the 1st grade level, as they will need to complete some questionnaires (research assistants will support children through questionnaires so reading at a 1st grade level is not required); 6. they do not have access to a computer, internet, and a private space to attend sessions (as the sessions are online, and a private space is needed to protect the confidentiality of other study participants).
