Trial Outcomes & Findings for Integrated Treatment for Adolescents With ADHD (NCT NCT02420990)

NCT ID: NCT02420990

Last Updated: 2022-10-14

Results Overview

ADHD Symptoms were assessed using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (Version 5.0). A count of symptoms (range 0-14) was utilized with higher numbers represent more symptoms. Delinquency was assessed using the National Youth Survey Self-Report Delinquency Scale (SRD). A count of delinquent acts was utilized (range 0-68) with higher numbers represent more delinquent acts. Substance Use was captured with the Comprehensive Addiction Severity Index for Adolescents. Total score was utilized (range 0-60) with higher numbers represent greater substance use. Externalizing and Internalizing Symptoms were measured with the Child Behavior Checklist. Higher scores correspond to more symptoms; scores on each item range from 0 to 2, and the study variable was calculated by summing items within each scale (externalizing scale range = 0 - 62 units on a scale; internalizing scale range = 0-64 units on a scale).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to One Year

Executive Functioning was measured with two subscales (self-regulation and self-organization) of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function. Higher scores correspond to greater difficulty with behavior regulation and organization; scores on each item range from 0 to 2, and the study variable was calculated by summing the scores in each scale (23 items per scale; range 0-46 per scale). School Functioning was measured three ways: Self-report grades which was coded to reflect 1=Mostly As, 2=As and Bs, 3=Mostly Bs, 4=Bs and Cs, 5=Mostly Cs. Academic Self-Efficacy was measured using four dichotomous items from the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire, 1 = endorsing self-efficacy, 0 = no self-efficacy (range =0-4). Homework problems checklist. Higher scores indicate more problems with homework; scores on each item range from 0 to 3; the study variable was calculated by summing the 11 scale items (total score range = 0-33).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: One Year

Treatment Attendance \[sum of the total number of individual, family, and group sessions attended\] and Medication Management Sessions \[total number of sessions attended\] were collected from agency records. Medication Use, coded as "1 = on" or "0 = off" medication at each follow-up point, was captured with the Services Assessment for Children and Adolescents
