Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking children aged 3-5 who show signs of ADHD and sleep problems, as reported by their legal guardians. Guardians must be at least 18 years old. Children with severe neurodevelopmental disorders or sleep issues due to medical conditions like narcolepsy or obstructive sleep apnea cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two parenting interventions: a brief behavioral one and a modified version focused on improving the child's sleep (SF-PBI). It aims to see which is more acceptable, feasible, appropriate, and effective in reducing ADHD symptoms and improving sleep among preschoolers.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves behavioral interventions rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, there may be changes in family dynamics or stress levels as parents implement new strategies.
