Attention Deficit Disorder With Hyperactivity |
Drug: Methylphenidate Behavioral: Comprehensive behavioral treatment program |
| Study Type: | Interventional |
| Study Design: | Treatment, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Control, Crossover Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study |
| Official Title: | ADHD Treatment: Comparative and Combined Dosage Effects |
| Estimated Enrollment: | 144 |
| Study Start Date: | September 2001 |
Participants attend a summer treatment program each Monday-Friday for 9 weeks. They participate in group recreational and classroom activities, with 12 children and 5 staff per group. Three behavioral conditions (no behavioral modification, low-intensity behavioral modification, and high-intensity behavioral modification) are delivered in random order, with each condition lasting 3 weeks. Along with the behavioral treatment conditions, children receive 1 of 4 medication doses (placebo, 0.15 mg/kg methylphenidate, 0.3 mg/kg methylphenidate, or 0.6 mg/kg methylphenidate) in random order, with each dose varied daily and repeated 3 or 4 times within each behavioral treatment condition.
Measures include frequency counts of positive and negative behaviors, academic productivity and accuracy in the classroom, and counselor, parent, and teacher ratings of benefits and side effects. Parents attend training sessions and implement behavioral programs at home.
