Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Randomized Trial of Interventions for Teenage Drivers With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) (NCT NCT01322646)

NCT ID: NCT01322646

Last Updated: 2022-05-11

Results Overview

Frequency count of risky driving events (e.g., abrupt braking, hard acceleration, abrupt swerving) recorded by engine performance monitor installed in the car. Events were counted and a greater frequency indicated more risky driving. The average number of risky driving events, collected over a four-week period at each assessment point were used as the dependent measure.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Follow-up period after the intervention (12 weeks)

Parents and teens discussed two recent issues and these discussions were coded using The Interaction Behavior Code (IBC). The IBC is a behavioral coding system designed to assess global impressions of parent-adolescent problem-solving and communication behavior. Coders were undergraduates who were unaware of both study hypothesis and group assignment. Coders were instructed to rate 32 behavioral items related to positive and negative parenting in terms of their presence or absence of the behaviors (Items 1-22) or the how often specific parenting behaviors occurred for Items 23-32 ("no" = 0 points, "a little" = .5 point, and "alot" = 1 point). Coders scores were summed across the 32 items and scores fore each scale could range from 0-32. Thus for the positive parenting scale, higher scores, ranging from 0-32, indicated improvement.
