In recent years, research in the area of intervention development has been shifting from traditional fixed-intervention approach to adaptive interventions, which allow greater individualization and adaptation options (i.e., type and/or dosage) over time. Adaptive interventions are operationalized via a sequence decision rules that specify how should be adapted an individual's characteristics changing needs, with general aim optimize long-term effectiveness intervention. Here, we review...
The Multimodal Treatment Study (MTA) began as a 14-month randomized clinical trial of behavioral and pharmacological treatments 579 children (7-10 years age) diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)-combined type. It transitioned into an observational long-term follow-up 515 cases consented for continuation 289 classmates (258 without ADHD) added local normative comparison group (LNCG), assessments 2-16 after baseline.
This study examined several questions about the diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in young adults using data from a childhood-diagnosed sample 200 individuals with ADHD (age M = 20.20 years) and 121 demographically similar non-ADHD controls (total N 321).
Behavioral and pharmacological treatments for children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were evaluated to address whether endpoint outcomes are better depending on which treatment is initiated first and, in case of insufficient response initial treatment, increasing dose or adding the other modality superior. Children ADHD (ages 5–12, N = 146, 76% male) treated 1 school year. randomized initiate low doses either (a) behavioral parent training (8 group sessions) brief...
Objective. Very little research has focused on the efficacy of Adderall (Shire-Richwood Inc, Florence, KY) in treatment children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and no studies have compared it standardized doses Ritalin (Novartis Pharmaceuticals, East Hanover, NJ). It is thought that a longer half-life than might minimize loss occurs 4 or 5 hours after ingestion. We two ADHD an acute study assessed medications' time courses. Design. Within-subject, double-blind,...
Increasing interest in individualizing and adapting intervention services over time has led to the development of adaptive interventions.Adaptive interventions operationalize individualization a sequence options via use decision rules that input participant information output recommendations.We introduce Q-learning, which is generalization regression analysis settings decisions regarding or are made.The Q indicate this method used assess relative quality options.In particular, we Q-learning...
Impulsivity is a central component of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Delay discounting, or preference for smaller, immediate rewards over larger, delayed rewards, considered an important aspect impulsivity, and delay-related impulsivity has been emphasized in etiological models ADHD. In this study, we examined whether stimulant medication, effective treatment ADHD, reduced discounting experiential hypothetical among 49 children (ages 9-12 years) with After practice day,...
This study examines the tolerability and efficacy of methylphenidate (MPH) behavior modification therapy (BMOD) in children with attention-deficity/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) severe mood dysregulation (SMD).Children (ages 5-12) from a summer program for ADHD were screened SMD additional manic-like symptoms using structured assessments direct clinical interview Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS). The group was comprised 33 subjects elevated YMRS scores (mean = 23.7). They underwent weekly...
Background The aim of this study was to examine the prospective relationship between a history attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) assessed in mid-adolescence and onset major depressive (MDD) through early adulthood large school-based sample. A secondary whether robust after accounting for comorbid psychopathology psychosocial impairment. Method One thousand five hundred seven participants from Oregon Adolescent Depression Project completed rating scales adolescence structured...
The current study examined treatment preferences of 183 parents young (average age = 5.8 years, SD 0.6), medication naive children with ADHD. Preferences were evaluated using a discrete choice experiment in which made choices between different combinations characteristics, outcomes, and costs. Latent class analysis yielded two segments parents: (a) avoidant constituted 70.5% the sample whose decisions strongly influenced by desire to avoid medication, (b) outcome oriented 29.5% most for...
We conducted a cost analysis of the behavioral, pharmacological, and combined interventions employed in sequential, multiple assignment, randomized, adaptive trial investigating sequencing enhancement treatment for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD; Pelham et al., 201X; N = 146, 76% male, 80% Caucasian). The quantity resources expended on each child's was determined from records that listed type, date, location, persons present, duration all services provided....
<h3>Importance</h3> Adolescent major depressive disorder (MDD) prevalence has nearly doubled in the past decade. The US Preventive Services Task Force endorses universal adolescent MDD screening primary care; however, most adolescents lack preventive health care, resulting worsening disparities and treatment. <h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate effectiveness of school setting an effort to reduce improve identification treatment initiation. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This randomized...
