A Randomized Controlled Study of Medical-education-community Collaborated Intervention in Children With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

This study is designed to test if the medical-education-community collaborated intervention can reduce the symptoms of children with Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) compared to routine clinical care. Investigators will also evaluate if the intervention will positively affect organizational skills and academic achievement compared to controls.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
total score change in SNAP-IV scale
Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months after enrollment
It is a repeated measurement. The Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham Questionnaire (SNAP-IV) Rating Scale is a revised version of the Swanson, Nolan and Pelham (SNAP) Questionnaire that utilizes the DSM-IV criteria for ADHD and oppositional defiant disorder, rated by caregiver or professionals. It comprises three subscales: Inattention, Hyperactivity/Impulsivity, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. The score of each item is rated with a 4-point Likert scale (0 = not at all, 3 = very much). We choose the total score ofInattention and Hyperactivity/Impulsivityfor the evaluation of change in ADHD symptom in children. The score is calculated by adding all the items inthe two subscales. The change of score is calculated by score at 3 months enrollment minus score at baseline (enrollment).
Baseline, 3 months after enrollment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
total score change in Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function scale
Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months after enrollment
It is a repeated measurement. The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function(BRIEF) Scale reflects the performance of children's deficits in executive function in daily life, which covers a number of organizational skills involved in organizational skills training. We choose the total score ofBRIEF for the evaluation of change in organizational skills in children. The score is calculated by the published recording chart. The change of score is calculated by score at 3 months enrollment minus score at baseline (enrollment).
