Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In this project, the investigators will extend prior results of parent-reported executive function growth and symptom reduction in children receiving home-based treatment with the Collaborative Problem Solving treatment approach (CPS), with a particular focus on examining children who have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The investigators will examine executive functioning (EF) of children who are receiving CPS, measuring EF with parent-report and objective computer-based tasks, at two timepoints: at the start of treatment and approximately four months later, and will collect symptoms at these plus three additional timepoints: at discharge, 6-months after discharge, and 12-months after discharge.

Interventions

Learn about the drugs, procedures, or behavioral strategies being tested and how they are applied within this trial.

Collaborative Problem Solving

CPS is an approach for understanding and reducing challenging behavior in youth. Under CPS, caregivers are taught to understand and identify the specific neurocognitive skill deficits that underlie their child's challenging behavior. Then the caregivers are taught to interact with the child in a way that solves chronic behavior problems while building the lagging neurocognitive skills to avoid future problems.
