Standard Versus Culturally-Modified ADHD Treatment
The current pilot study aims to close the existing gap in our knowledge about effective
psychosocial treatments for Latino families by providing preliminary data regarding the
acceptability and efficacy of a culturally-modified ADHD treatment and possible moderators
that will support a future R01. Specifically, the current pilot study is the first step in a
larger program of research aimed at definitively determining if culturally-modified ADHD
treatment outperforms standard treatment when examining engagement and acceptability
outcomes, as well as symptomatology and parental functioning, and if so, which treatment
modifications are necessary and for whom. The following study aims will be examined.
1. Aim 1 is to explore if the culturally-modified treatment results in better engagement
and acceptability outcomes (i.e., parental attendance, retention, engagement, and
satisfaction) than standard treatment and to determine the strength of these effects.
2. Aim 2 is to explore if the culturally-modified treatment results in improvements in ADHD
symptomatology, as well as parental functioning (i.e., parenting stress and efficacy),
to explore if the modified treatment results in similar or greater improvements than
standard treatment, and to determine the strength of these effects.
3. Aim 3 is to explore possible moderators (i.e., socioeconomic status (SES) and behavioral
and cognitive acculturation) that may explain the relationship between treatment type
(i.e., standard versus culturally-modified) and outcomes and to determine the strength
of these interactions.
