OBJECTIVE: This study compared 2 school-based training interventions for adolescents with @entity71 ( @entity71 ): the Challenging Horizons Program-after school version (CHP- @entity5427 ) and Challenging Horizons Program-mentoring version (CHP-M) with each other and with a community care (CC) condition. METHOD: @entity1 were 326 students (sixth through eighth grade) diagnosed with @entity71 . Interventions were conducted for 1 academic year. CHP- @entity5427 occurred twice weekly and included organization, social functioning, and academic study skills interventions. In CHP-M, students were paired with a mentor (e.g., teacher) who was trained by a consultant and delivered a subset of the CHP- @entity5427 interventions during school. No direct intervention was provided in CC. @entity1 were assessed at pretreatment, 4 occasions during the intervention year, posttreatment, and at a 6-month follow-up. RESULTS: Intent-to-treatment analyses using hierarchical linear modeling to compare outcomes between the 3 conditions indicate participation in the CHP- @entity5427 intervention is associated with moderate effect size improvements in parent-rated organization and time-management skills, homework problems, and @entity71 symptoms of inattention, and with small improvements in overall academic functioning and grade point average (GPA). These improvements were in comparison to CC and to CHP-M. Gains were sustained into the next school year and even increased in magnitude for several of the measures. CONCLUSIONS: The CHP- @entity5427 program leads to significant benefits for adolescents with @entity71 compared with the services provided in the CHP-M and CC. The persistence of improvements over time supports the use of training interventions that teach skills for adolescents. (PsycINFO Database Record
