Effectiveness of the Challenging Horizons After-School Program for young adolescents with ADHD.
There are no empirically supported psychosocial treatments for adolescents with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD ) .  This study examined the treatment benefits of the Challenging Horizons Program ( CHP ) , a psychosocial treatment program design ed to address the impairment and symptoms associated with this disorder in young adolescents . In addition to evaluating social and academic functioning outcomes , two critical questions from previous studies pertaining to the timing , duration , and family involvement in treatment were addressed . Forty-nine students recruited in two cohorts were r and omly assigned to receive either the CHP or a  community care condition . Outcomes suggested that students who received the CHP  improved compared to students in the control condition on measures of symptoms and impairment . Implication s related to timing , duration , and family involvement are reported , as well as recommendations for future studies
