Abstract

Behavior management treatments are the most commonly used nonpharmacologic approaches for treating attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and associated impairments. This review focuses on behavioral parent training interventions for school-age children in the home setting and adjunctive treatments developed to extend effects across settings. Empirical support includes numerous randomized clinical trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses showing positive effects of these interventions on child compliance, ADHD symptoms and impairments, parent-child interactions, parenting and parenting stress. These studies support categorization of behavior management treatment as a well-established, evidence-based treatment of ADHD. Factors for consideration in clinical decision making and directions for research are provided.

  • Behavioural interventions are the best-established, most positively recommended and most widely used form of psychological treatment.

    The Abstract describes behavior management as the most commonly used nonpharmacological approach for ADHD and as a well-established, evidence-based treatment. The Empirical Support section assigns behavioral parent training the highest level of evidence for treatment benefits. Our copy does not establish that behavioral interventions are the most positively recommended psychological treatment, or extend these comparisons beyond ADHD. (LLM, conf=0.85)

  • The well-tested principles of positive and negative reinforcement and social learning provide the foundation for a range of techniques that are often modified to increase their value for patients with ADHD, to reduce inappropriate and promote appropriate behaviour and to improve parent-child relationships.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
