About this study

Official title: COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENESS RESEARCH FOR TWO MEDICAL HOME MODELS FOR ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of two care models on ADHD outcomes: one, a model of basic care management and structured communication with specialists, consistent with conventional descriptions of a patient-centered Medical Home; and another, which combines the Medical Home with theory-based care management strategies to address common reasons for ADHD treatment failure.

Being tested
Collaborative Care Plus, Traditional Collaborative Care
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. ADHD Symptoms

    Swanson, Nolan and Pelham scale (SNAP-IV)

    Measured: 6 mo

  2. ADHD Symptoms

    Swanson, Nolan and Pelham scale (SNAP-IV)

    Measured: 12 mo

  3. Patient Medication Adherence

    Timely prescribed refills of ADHD medications - assessed through the EHR - will provide an accurate picture of medication adherence from the perspective of prescription writing. In addition, we will administer the validated Medication Adherence Scale, which has good reliability among parents of urban children with asthma

    Measured: 6 mo

  4. Patient Medication Adherence

    Timely prescribed refills of ADHD medications - assessed through the EHR - will provide an accurate picture of medication adherence from the perspective of prescription writing. In addition, we will administer the validated Medication Adherence Scale, which has good reliability among parents of urban children with asthma

    Measured: 12 mo

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. ODD Symptoms

    SNAP-IV

    Measured: 6 mo

  2. Social Skills

    Social Skills Rating System

    Measured: 6 mo

  3. Time to Symptom Improvement

    Based on follow-up ADHD symptom scales administered at regular intervals by our care managers, we will quantify the time between initial diagnosis and definitive improvement - conventionally defined by a 25% symptom reduction from baseline

    Measured: 12 mo

  4. ODD Symptoms

    SNAP-IV

    Measured: 12 mo

  5. Social Skills

    Social Skills Rating System

    Measured: 12 mo
