Abstract
OBJECTIVE
This study reports three-year effects of a parent-teen cognitive/behavioral treatment for adolescent ADHD, blended with Motivational Interviewing (Supporting Teens' Autonomy Daily; STAND), versus Usual Care (UC) in four community clinics.
METHOD
A randomized clinical trial with double randomization of adolescents and therapists to STAND vs. UC. Participants were 278 culturally-diverse adolescents diagnosed with DSM-5 ADHD and 82 community therapists. Long-term effects on outcomes and theorized mechanisms were assessed ∼3 years post-baseline (M age=16.94, SD=1.69): ADHD severity (parent-rated), parent-teen conflict (parent/adolescent-rated), organization, time management, and planning skills (OTP; parent-rated), treatment and school enrollment (parent/adolescent-reported), and ADHD diagnostic persistence (clinician-determined). Therapist licensure was examined as a treatment moderator. Intent-to-treat (ITT) and per protocol analyses (n=225; participants initiating treatment after agency intake) were conducted.
RESULTS
As in the original trial, ITT analyses indicated no long-term group x time effects. However, STAND (versus UC) led to superior long-term outcomes when therapists were licensed (22% of sample) vs. unlicensed for parent-rated hyperactivity/impulsivity: d=.39; adolescent-rated parent-teen conflict: d=.27, and parent-rated OTP skills: d=.79. Previously-reported post-treatment group differences on medication engagement were non-significant at three-year follow-up.
CONCLUSION
Although STAND did not outperform UC overall, group x licensure interactions indicate specific long-term impacts on ADHD symptoms, executive function skills such as OTP, and parent-teen conflict, extending this trial's acute effects and replicating previous findings. Clinicians in community settings might recommend adjunctive cognitive/behavioral treatment to adolescents with ADHD to maximize long-term outcomes. However, additional efforts are needed to facilitate effective implementation by unlicensed clinicians.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry (JAACAP) is dedicated to advancing the field of child and adolescent psychiatry through the publication of original research and papers of theoretical, scientific, and clinical significance. Our primary focus is on the mental health of children, adolescents, and families.
We welcome unpublished manuscripts that explore various perspectives, ranging from genetic, epidemiological, neurobiological, and psychopathological research, to cognitive, behavioral, psychodynamic, and other psychotherapeutic investigations. We also encourage submissions that delve into parent-child, interpersonal, and family research, as well as clinical and empirical studies conducted in inpatient, outpatient, consultation-liaison, and school-based settings.
In addition to publishing research, we aim to promote the well-being of children and families by featuring scholarly papers on topics such as health policy, legislation, advocacy, culture, society, and service provision in relation to mental health.
At JAACAP, we strive to foster collaboration and dialogue among researchers, clinicians, and policy-makers in order to enhance our understanding and approach to child and adolescent mental health.
