Community-based approach boosts family engagement in ADHD care
Innovative intervention delivered by trained community health workers—meaning nonclinical personnel with deep knowledge of the community—increased treatment utilization among participating families with children who have ADHD, according to a pilot study published in the Journal of Attention Disorders. This intervention for parents and caregivers, covering topics that range from education about ADHD to discussions of stigma and barriers to care, intends to reduce inequities in access to evidence-based treatment and boost family engagement in ADHD care.
