Brief Summary

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

The goal of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a health promotion intervention for Ultra-Orthodox Jewish mothers of children with ADHD.

This study will examine the impact of a culturally tailored group-based intervention aimed at reducing stress, enhancing health, and improving the well-being of mothers.

The main questions this study aims to answer are:

1. Is the intervention feasible for mothers to participate?
2. Does the intervention improve maternal knowledge about ADHD and reduce stigma?
3. Does it help reduce maternal stress and enhance self-care practices?

Participants include:

Mothers: Ultra-Orthodox Jewish mothers with a child (ages 6-12) diagnosed with ADHD and no other major health conditions in the family (other than ADHD).

Educators: School educators with at least 5 years of experience teaching children with ADHD in the Ultra-Orthodox community.

What participation involves:

Mothers will attend six weekly teletherapy group sessions, with 6-8 mothers per group. They will complete questionnaires before and after the intervention (approximately 30 minutes each) and participate in a 90-minute remote focus group to provide feedback on the program.

Educators will attend a single teletherapy group session (90 minutes) during the program (session 5) and participate in a 90-minute remote interview to provide feedback on the program.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

After providing informed consent, mothers will complete questionnaires which will take approximately 30 minutes before beginning the program. Mothers will then be assigned non-randomly to the intervention or control group. Mothers assigned to the control group will receive the intervention after the completion of the first intervention group (delayed).

The six sessions of the intervention will be teletherapy and each session will be one and a half hours in length. Each group will consist of 6-8 mothers per group.

Inclusion criteria included mothers who identify as ultra-orthodox Jewish, have a child between the ages of 6-12 years old who have been diagnosed with ADHD by a licensed medical professional, and who do not have any other medical diagnosis.

The topics discussed in the intervention will include: Awareness/knowledge regarding ADHD and its biological origins, Identifying resources and optimal treatment for ADHD for the child and the mother, Strategies for child ADHD management in the school, and the legitimacy and importance of maternal self-care.
