About this study

Official title: Generative Artificial Intelligence Assisted Home-based Intervention for Attention Deficient Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Children

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of online diary platforms for socio-emotional learning training in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the online diary platform training enhance children's emotion regulation and its connection to positive thinking? Does the online diary platform training provide an immediate, interactive, and effective emotion training tool during the wait for follow-up visits and treatment?

Read more

Researchers will compare online diary platforms training to counselling to see if online diary platforms training enhance children's emotion regulation.

Participants will use the MangaChat diary platform to log their daily moods and events, which the platform transforms into comic strips to offer an engaging visual story of their emotional experiences. Participants are requested to use the platform daily (or at least 3 times per week) for approximately 10 to 15 minutes per session over a 12-week period.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Generative artificial intelligence assisted diary platform home-based interventionDevice

    Participants will use the MangaChat diary platform to log their daily moods and events, which the platform transforms into comic strips to offer an engaging visual story of their emotional experiences. Participants are requested to use the platform daily (or at least 3 times per week) for approximately 10 to 15 minutes per session over a 12-week period. Prior to using the platform, a 1-hour online orientation session will be provided to guide parents on how to support their child's emotional management at home using the digital tool.

  • Consultations and psychoeducation on child emotional managementBehavioural

    A clinical psychologist will provide weekly 30-minute telephone consultations and psychoeducation for parents on child emotional management over a 12-week period. These sessions will focus on discussing real-life situations and establishing coping strategies. (If parents express interest in using the online platform, free access equivalent to the 12-week intervention given to the platform group will be provided after study completion, ensuring their rights and benefits are fully preserved regardless of group assignment.)

What is being measured

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

  1. Conners CPT 3™ (The Conners Continuous Performance Test Third Edition™ )

    A 14-minute, computerized visual attention assessment that evaluates objective performance to assist in the assessment of ADHD. The test evaluates performance across four primary dimensions: inattentiveness, impulsivity, sustained attention an vigilance.

    Measured: (1) Pre-test session to serve as baseline (2) Post-test session immediately after 12weeks

  2. SNAP-IV (Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham, Version IV)

    A 26-Item standardized behavior rating scale completed by parents to compare a child's behavior across home and school environments. This scale evaluates inattention, hyperactivity/impulsivity, oppositional defiant/conduct behaviors.

    Measured: (1) Pre-test session to serve as baseline (2) Post-test session immediately after 12weeks

  3. BYI-II (Beck Youth Inventories Second Edition)

    A standardized psychological assessment designed to evaluate emotional and social impairment in children and adolescents, completed by parents. The BYI-II consists of 100 total items, assesses symptoms of depression, anxiety, anger, disruptive behavior, and self-concept.

    Measured: (1) Pre-test session to serve as baseline (2) Post-test session immediately after 12weeks

  4. CBCL Ages 6-18 (Child Behavior Checklist for Ages 6-18)

    A standardized questionnaire completed by parents or primary caregivers to evaluate a child's behavioral, emotional, and social functioning over the past 6 months. The questionnaire is divided into competence Items , measures the child's active participation and performance, and problem Items , evaluates emotional and behavioral difficulties, yielding several key groups of scales, including anxious/depressed, withdrawn/depressed, somatic complaints, social problems, thought problems, attention problems, rule-breaking behavior and aggressive behavior.

    Measured: (1) Pre-test session to serve as baseline (2) Post-test session immediately after 12weeks

  5. PSI (Parenting Stress Index, 3rd edition)

    A questionnaire designed to measure the relative magnitude of stress in the parent-child system for parents of children, completed by parents or primary caregivers to. Consists of 120 items on a 5-point Likert scale divided into two main domains plus an optional life stress measure:

    1. Child domain (47 items): Evaluates child characteristics across six subscales:
    • Distractibility/Hyperactivity
    • Adaptability
    • Reinforces Parent
    • Demandingness
    • Mood
    • Acceptability (of the child to the parent)
    1. Parent Domain (54 items): Evaluates parental characteristics across seven subscales:
    • Competence
    • Isolation
    • Attachment
    • Health
    • Role Restriction
    • Depression
    • Spouse (relationship with spouse/partner)
    1. Life Stressors Domain (Optional, 19 items): Measures extraneous/situational life events (e.g., job loss, financial hardship, family moves).

    Measured: (1) Pre-test session to serve as baseline (2) Post-test session immediately after 12weeks

  6. Parental Satisfaction Questionnaire

    A 24-item questionnaire completed by parents or primary caregivers to understand the actual impact of this training on the child and their parents.

    Measured: (1) Pre-test session to serve as baseline (2) Post-test session immediately after 12weeks
