Study Summary

This trial is testing whether a previous study's finding that an intervention can help students with organization, time management, and planning problems also holds true in routine practice conditions.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for male or female students in grades 6-8, who are in general education classrooms and struggle with organization, time management, and planning (OTMP) skills. They must be nominated by a teacher due to OTMP skill deficits affecting their academic performance. Parental consent and student assent are required. Students with one-to-one aides, those mostly in special education, non-English speaking families, or from families already participating are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The HOPS Study tests the Homework, Organization, and Planning Skills intervention under normal school conditions with school staff as interventionists. It aims to replicate previous findings on its efficacy for improving students' organizational skills and will also examine how well the program is implemented.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this study involves educational interventions rather than medical treatments, traditional physical side effects do not apply. However, there may be varying levels of engagement or stress related to participation that could affect individual experiences.

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Homework, Organization, and Planning Skills (HOPS)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
The Homework, Organization, and Planning Skills (HOPS) intervention is delivered through a series of 16 frequent but brief sessions between the HOPS provider and student. The HOPS intervention will be delivered by either a member of the school team (HOPS-ST), referred to as a "school provider", or a member of the research team (HOPS-RT), referred to as a "research provider". Each session is approximately 20 minutes. The three main skill areas covered as part of the program are: (1) school materials organization, (2) homework management and (3) time management and planning. A reward system is utilized in effort to change behavior patterns by making rewards available when a student engages in productive organizing and planning behaviors. The intervention also includes two parent meetings and one teacher meeting.
Group II: Treatment-As-Usual Waitlist (WL-TAU)Active Control1 Intervention
The Treatment-As-Usual Waitlist (WL-TAU) will be enacted for study participants attending the enrolled schools assigned to this arm. After providing post data (and in some cases, follow-up data as well), participants will then receive the HOPS intervention.
