Summary
This study tests a parent training program called the New Forest Parenting Programme for children aged 3-12 who have ADHD or trouble with attention and activity. Researchers want to see if it is practical and acceptable for families in Danish community clinics. The study includes 90 families and will look for early signs of improvement, but it is not designed to prove the program works.

Who is studied
The study population includes families receiving services through municipal child and family clinics in Denmark. Participating families have children aged 3-12 years who present with parent-perceived difficulties related to attention and activity regulation, including diagnosed or suspected ADHD. All custodial parents provide informed consent and complete the quantitative outcome measures. In addition, the study includes community practitioners, managers, and other stakeholders involved in delivering and supporting the New Forest Parenting Programme - Community Implementation Model (NFPP-CIM). These participants complete semistructured interviews and contribute qualitative data related to feasibility, acceptability, and implementation processes and do not complete quantitative outcome questionnaires (see detailed study description).
