- Behavioral Interventions
Background:
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent childhood neurobehavioral disorder.
- Increased parent-child conflict is observed in families with an ADHD child.
- Child behavior problems are linked to parenting practices.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy of Behavioral Parent Training (BPT) for ADHD.
- To assess the impact of BPT on parenting practices and ADHD-related behaviors.
Main Methods:
- Utilized pre- and post-BPT Parenting Scales and Vanderbilt ADHD Diagnostic Rating Scales.
- Calculated percent changes in participant scores before and after BPT intervention.
Main Results:
- Significant improvement in Parenting Scale overall and overreactivity factor scores post-BPT (p=.05).
- BPT demonstrated effectiveness in reducing negative parenting practices.
Conclusions:
- Behavioral Parent Training (BPT) positively impacts parenting practices.
