How can parents and teachers coordinate behavioral support for a school-age child with ADHD?
The study evaluates coordinated parent and teacher training alongside usual prescribed medication. It offers evidence about collaboration for children who need support across home and school.
Who was studied?
204 children with ADHD included in analyses across 14 primary schools in Shanghai.
Age / stage: 6–12 years
Read with three questions
- What training was provided at home and in the classroom?
- What outcomes were compared between the school clusters?
- Why must training effects be interpreted alongside medication and the open-label design?
Keep the limits in view
This open-label trial studied training added to medication, not a replacement for clinical care. It cannot isolate every program component and was conducted within a specific local service context.
