Exploring the Group Visit Model for Pediatric ADHD Management in the Medical Home
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: ADHD
In brief
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects 8% of US youth. Even though evidence shows medications are effective in reducing ADHD symptoms, many families experience ongoing parenting stress around parent-child interactions. Children often have ongoing impairments in functioning. ADHD is a common condition identified and managed by primary care pediatricians. However current care in the clinic is not optimal to address parents' and children's needs around ADHD chronic care. Time is the biggest barrier. Group visits are a viable option to improve pediatric ADHD care, but requires extensive study. The goal of this proposed study is to test the feasibility and effectiveness of the group visit model for ADHD management within pediatric primary care. This study will be a randomized feasibility study that will generate important pilot data, as well as result in an innovative, exportable pediatric ADHD group curriculum for primary care practice.
