Summary

This trial aims to improve the effectiveness of a program called the Collaborative Life Skills Program (CLS) for children with ADHD. The researchers will use different strategies to enhance the implementation of the program, such

Who is the study for?
This trial is for schools with teams willing to implement a program to help children with ADHD. The teams will use strategies like Team Charters, Communication Training, and Performance Monitoring to improve the effectiveness of the Collaborative Life Skills Program.
What is being tested?
The study compares two methods: the standard Collaborative Life Skills Program versus an enhanced version with team-based strategies (CLS-T). It's a cluster randomized trial in urban schools to see if CLS-T leads to better implementation and child outcomes.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational and organizational interventions rather than medical treatments, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, there may be challenges such as increased workload or changes in team dynamics.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Team-Enhanced Collaborative Life Skills Program ImplementationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
We will integrate three team-based implementation strategies to enhance team effectiveness in CLS, including Team Charters, Team Communication Training via Student Handoff Protocols, and Team Performance Monitoring. These interventions have been shown to improve cognitive (e.g., shared mental models) and affective ((e.g., trust, collective efficacy) team-based emergent states and enhance team-based processes, such as communication and coordination.
Group II: Standard Collaborative Life Skills Program ImplementationActive Control1 Intervention
CLS is a school-delivered intervention coordinating three empirically-supported approaches: teacher consultation and a daily behavior report card, behavioral parent training and child skills training. The three components are integrated over a 10-12 week period to improve symptoms and functional impairment among youth with ADHD.
