Overview

Randomized trial demonstrates improved child and parent outcomes with parental stimulant medication and behavioral training, indicating benefits of dual-targeted interventions for ADHD families.

Key Points

To evaluate whether adding parent stimulant medication titration prior to telehealth-delivered integrated behavioral parent training enhances clinical and parenting outcomes in families where both parent and child have ADHD.
Randomized controlled trial (NCT04240756) comparing telehealth-delivered integrated behavioral parent training (I-BPT) alone versus preceded by parent stimulant medication titration (PSM + I-BPT).
Enrolled N = 120 parents with ADHD (25% fathers; 27% Black/African-American; 11% Hispanic) and their stimulant-naïve children aged 3–8 years across urban pediatric clinics.
Children whose parents received PSM + I-BPT showed significantly steeper declines in Clinical Global Impressions ratings compared to those receiving I-BPT alone (d = 0.37; p = .001).
Parents receiving PSM + I-BPT demonstrated faster reductions in their own CGI-S ratings (d = 0.33) and greater improvements in inconsistent discipline (d = 0.22) and positive parenting (d = 0.24).
Self-reported punitive parenting and observed parenting behaviors improved similarly across both intervention groups.
