  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Study population consists parents of children who participated in a previous longitudinal study that investigates the effectiveness of omega-3 supplementation and social skills training in treating Conduct Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The study ended noting that some children no longer meet the criteria of the disorders and based on existing literature, parental interactions may have a role in this phenomenon. As such, this research proposes to interview parents of these children to understand more.

Who may be able to join

  • Parents of children who participated in previous study "Supplements and Social Skills Intervention" conducted by Singapore Institute of Mental Health Child Guidance Clinic.
  • Children no longer meet the criteria for Conduct Disorder and ADHD, as measured by Antisocial Process Screening Device (APSD) Callous-Unemotional score of 7 or less, and who do not meet the cut-off for rule-breaking and aggressive behavior determined by Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). These data were collected from a previous study.

Who cannot join

  • Children who still meet the requirements of Conduct Disorder and ADHD as defined above.
  • Parents who did not indicate that they wish to be contacted for follow-up studies.

About this study

Official title: Investigating the Relationship Between Children With ADHD and Conduct Disorder and Their Parents in Reduction of Symptoms

This study aims to uncover mechanisms of action underlying any long-term change in youth antisocial behavior by considering the role of child and family characteristics as mediators and moderators of change. The study design is qualitative interviews to be conducted face-to-face with parents of children previously diagnosed with Conduct Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) but no longer meet diagnostic criteria. Questions will be asked to understand participants' parenting experience over time (before, during and after their children's treatment).

What is being measured

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

  1. Parental style and interactions with children

    Qualitative interview based on a phenomenological analysis will seek to understand from parents before, during, and after the treatment (previous intervention) about their interactions with their children, especially when problematic behavioural issues occur. All interviews were transcribed verbatim as much as possible, then subjected to a first round of open coding through identification of words, sentences or paragraphs expressing common ideas. Thereafter, a framework of themes was derived and interview content was organized systematically for analysis. The transcripts will also be rotated among researchers for the various stages of coding, such that each transcript was coded by at least two different people. This was to minimize subjectivity in coding and ensure the inter-rater consistency of the codes.

    Measured: 1 year
