Summary

Evaluating interventions for children/adolescents with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a field that offers many challenges. Even though psychotherapeutic treatment for ADHD is recommended as the first choice in many countries(1), the evidence base for this is inconsistent and outcome specific (2). For instance, parent training may not have significant effects on the core Symptoms of ADHD (3). However, trials suggest that it facilitates skills in other areas. One area where it is of potential value is social functioning (4). The randomized controlled trial (RCT)described here will test the therapeutic value of a package of psychological interventions designed to target social functioning for children and adolescents with ADHD. It will be conducted in a special school environment designed specifically for children with severe behavioral problems. Therefore, routine provision is already substantial. As a result, it was not possible to include a "no intervention group" (control group) for ethical reasons. Therefore, the value of social skills intervention was examined by comparing different "doses" of the routine intervention by testing a usual provision (UP) group against an enriched/need-based (ENP) form of provision.
