PRESENTATION:
Although the causes of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are genetic and neurobiological, multiple environmental influences shape the developmental course and outcomes for children with ADHD. Prominent among these is parenting and parent mental health. This presentation will walk you through Chronis-Tuscano’s program of research. It involves the development, evaluation, and dissemination of interventions integrating a focus on parent mental health and parenting to enhance developmental and treatment outcomes for diverse youth with ADHD.
