“…Heterogeneity was also significant (χ 2 =46.79; l 2 =79%; p<0.001) (see Figure A). A sensitivity analysis which removed the five studies 13,16,18,22,23 that had allowed medication not only demonstrated that these findings were independent of medication status but that the strength of the association increased (SMD = 0.77; 95% CI 0. Heterogeneity was not significant (see Figure B).…”

“…All eleven [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] studies had a child ADHD symptom outcome (assessed using clinical interview or validated parental reported questionnaire). The overall standardized mean difference in the analysis for ADHD symptoms was significant and moderate (SMD = 0.68; 95%…”

“…Three studies 13,16,22 included a measure of parenting stress, all assessed using parental self-report questionnaires. The overall standardized mean difference in the analysis for parenting stress was moderate but not significant (SMD = 0.50; 95% CI -0.12,1.12)…”

ObjectiveTo evaluate the evidence base relating to the effectiveness of parent-administered behavioral interventions for ADHD. MethodsA systematic review of randomized controlled trials or non-randomized but adequately controlled trials for children with ADHD or high levels of ADHD symptoms was carried out across multiple databases. For meta-analyses, the most proximal ratings of child symptoms were used as the primary outcome measure. ResultsEleven studies met inclusion criteria (603 children, age range 33-144 months). Parenting interventions were associated with reduction in ADHD symptoms (Standardized Mean Difference (SMD) = 0.68; 95% CI 0.32,1.04). There was no evidence of attenuation of effectiveness after excluding studies where medication was also used. Parenting interventions were also effective for comorbid conduct problems (SMD = 0.59; 95% CI 0.29,0.90) and parenting self-esteem (SMD = 0.83; 95% CI 0.56,1.10). ConclusionsThese findings support clinical practice guidelines and suggest that parenting interventions are effective. There is a need to ensure the availability of parenting interventions in community settings.3

“…Motoyama assessed 18 mothers with ADHD children after parent training program; results showed that parental stress was reduced, their self-esteem was increased, and parent-child relationship was improved (20). Adjunctive behavioral parent training is useful for mothers who have parental self-efficacy and for children with or without single-type (16). Strong evidence proves that parent training and cognitive behavioral therapy have useful effect on ADHD symptoms (21)(22)(23)(24).…”

“…Van den Hoofdakker in his study showed that behavioral parent training would improve routine treatment in ADHD children and particularly reduce behavioral and internalizing problems, but it would not reduce ADHD symptoms or parental stress. Finally, behavioral parent training may reduce drug prescription (16). Studies on parental training claimed their effectiveness on ADHD, but such claims need scientific and controlled studies.…”

Background: Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurobehavioral condition characterized by poor attention, hyperactivity and misbehavior. Parent training and behavioral therapy are psychosocial techniques aimed at training parents to manage and change their children's behavior. Objectives: This study examined the impact of parent training and behavioral therapy to control ADHD children. Patients and Methods:This research was a pretest-posttest study, conducted on 61 ADHD children selected randomly among referrals to psychological clinic (Hamdelan) Zahedan, Iran in 2010. Eight sessions of parent training based on the Barkley method and eight sessions of behavioral therapy were held for children's parents. The measurement tool was a researcher made questionnaires, consisting of diagnostic symptoms and features of ADHD based on DSM IV (diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders). Data were analyzed using t-test and SPSS software version 17. Results: Nine girls (14.8%) and 52 boys (85%), 6 -14 years old, participated in the study. Mean scores showed that the symptoms reduced after intervention significantly (P < 0.01). The results indicated that parent training and behavioral therapy were effective in controlling ADHD children's behaviors. Conclusions:The results of the present study can greatly benefit ADHD children since behavioral training may have a greater impact, than just the medication therapy on their social life.
