The results revealed that findings are becoming increasingly nuanced with variations in levels of evidence related to ages of the children and characteristics of the specific treatment .
In addition , we focused our critique on generalization of treatment effects across setting s and time and on sample diversity ( with regard to ethnicity and levels of parent education ) in relation to the population .
Children of parents with higher levels of education than average appear to be overrepresented in the literature .
The purpose of this research was to up date the series of articles on evidence -based treatment for children and adolescents with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder that have appeared in this journal ( Evans , Owens & Bunford , 2014 ; Pelham & Fabiano , 2008 ; Pelham , Wheeler , & Chronis , 1998 ) .
A comparison of behavioral parent training programs for fathers of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
Few behavioral parent training ( BPT ) treatment studies for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD ) have included and measured outcomes with fathers . In this study , fathers were r and omly assigned to attend a st and ard BPT program or the Coaching Our Acting-Out Children : Heightening Essential Skills ( COACHES ) program . The COACHES program included BPT plus sports skills training for the children and parent-child interactions in the context of a soccer game . Groups did not differ at baseline , and father ratings of treatment outcome indicated improvement at posttreatment for both groups on measures of child behavior . There was no significant difference between groups on ADHD-related measures of child outcome . However , at posttreatment , fathers who participated in the COACHES program rated children as more improved , and they were significantly more engaged in the treatment process ( e.g. , greater attendance and arrival on time at sessions , more homework completion , greater consumer satisfaction ) . The implication s for these findings and father-related treatment efforts are discussed
