Abstract
ABSTRACT Background The Summer Treatment Program (STP) for youth with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) includes a Daily Report Card (DRC) intervention administered by staff to provide feedback and contingencies for child behavior. The DRC has also been implemented by teachers in school settings, but less is known about parent implementation. Objective Given the importance of supporting parenting efficacy and child behavior in the home setting, this study evaluated a parent-implemented DRC concurrent to STP participation to examine predictors and associated changes for parenting efficacy and child in home behavior. Method Forty-three youth (and their caregivers) participated in dynamically adjusted home-based DRC during their participation in a traditional STP during the day. Results Home DRC contingencies significantly predicted parenting efficacy scores, including when home goals were both emphasized and removed. Parenting efficacy also differed by targeted behavior problem. Conclusion These findings replicate and extend previous work on leveraging DRCs to support generalization of skills in the STP to home.
