Evidence-based psychosocial treatments for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder

Pelham, William E., Fabiano, Gregory A.·2008·Journal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology

Abstract

Pelham, Wheeler, and Chronis (1998 Pelham , W. E. , Wheeler , T. , & Chronis , A. ( 1998 ). Empirically supported psychosocial treatments for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder . Journal of Clinical Child Psychology , 27 , 190 – 205 .[Taylor & Francis Online] , [Google Scholar]) reviewed the treatment literature on attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and concluded behavioral parent training (BPT) and behavioral classroom management (BCM) were well-established treatments for children with ADHD. This review updates and extends the finding of the prior review. Studies conducted since the 1998 review were identified and coded based on standard criteria, and effect sizes were calculated where appropriate. The review reinforces the conclusions of Pelham, Wheeler, and Chronis regarding BPT and BCM. Further, the review shows that intensive peer-focused behavioral interventions implemented in recreational settings (e.g., summer programs) are also well-established. The results of this update are discussed in the context of the existing treatment literature on ADHD. Implications for practice guidelines are suggested, as are directions for future research.

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.
