Abstract

This paper systematically reviews randomized controlled trial evidence of the effectiveness of parental interventions for problems and issues in children with ADHD. A comprehensive review of randomized controlled trials or non-randomized but properly controlled trials involving children with ADHD or high levels of ADHD symptoms was conducted. This systematic analysis focuses on parent-administered behavioural interventions for ADHD children. Eight studies met the review's inclusion criteria. This review found that parent-administered behavioural interventions improved ADHD symptom outcomes in children. Parent-administered behaviour interventions generally reduced ADHD symptoms and behavioural issues. These results confirm clinical practice recommendations and imply that parental treatments are efficacious. Therefore, the availability of parenting interventions should be ensured to deal with behavioural problems and issues among children with ADHD.
