PURPOSE: This study examined the suitability and preliminary efficacy of a newly developed videoconferencing group parent training program for parents of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This program was designed to address the challenges faced by caregivers by providing structured guidance and support through a telepsychiatric approach. METHODS: This quasi-experimental single-group pretest-posttest design was used. The program was developed using Barkley’s works, existing literature, expert opinions, and cultural relevance. Implemented in Turkey, the program included nine 60-min weekly group videoconferencing sessions with parents (N = 12; all living in suburban areas) of school-aged children (7-12 years) diagnosed with ADHD. Effectiveness was assessed via the « Descriptive Information Form, » « Zarid Burden Interview (ZBI-22), » « Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14), » and « Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). » Program acceptance was evaluated using a Likert scale. RESULTS: Participants reported high satisfaction (95 %) and full treatment retention (100 %). Parents showed significant improvements in burden (r = 0.958), stress (r = 0.734), and emotional and behavioral difficulties (r = 0.264) (p < .05). The program was well-received, and the positive outcomes highlight its potential applicability in broader clinical settings. Additionally, the research power for ZBI-22, PSS-14, and SDQ was determined to be high. CONCLUSIONS: This preliminary study supports the feasibility, acceptability, potential efficacy of a videoconferencing parent training program for parents of children with ADHD. Findings suggest a potential for reducing caregiver burden, stress, and emotional and behavioral difficulties, warranting further investigation in larger-scale studies. The development and implementation of this program demonstrate how digital health interventions can enhance access to evidence-based psychosocial support for families, particularly in underserved areas.

OBJECTIVE: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) diagnosed in childhood is associated with adverse socioeconomic outcomes, but questions remain about causality. Prior work is limited by single-timepoint assessments, narrow socioeconomic measurement, and inadequate control for genetic and environmental confounds. METHOD: We used data from the Minnesota Twin Family Study, a multi-decade longitudinal study of 2764 twins, to examine associations between ADHD and socioeconomic status (SES) across development. Childhood ADHD was defined as meeting diagnostic criteria at baseline (n = 131). SES was measured with parental education and occupation, household income, and neighborhood disadvantage in childhood, and participants’ own education, occupation, and income in adulthood. Co-twin control analyses accounted for genetic and shared environmental confounding. We examined apparent adult-onset ADHD (n = 32) as an exploratory comparison. RESULTS: Childhood ADHD was associated with both rearing family SES and adult education. In twin pairs discordant for childhood ADHD, the affected twin showed lower levels of education, indicating that the association does not owe entirely to the intergenerational transmission of SES and consistent with a causal effect of ADHD. Within-pair differences in adult occupational status and income were not significant, suggesting these associations reflect shared familial factors. Adult-onset ADHD showed weaker associations overall, with no significant within-pair effects. CONCLUSION: Lower SES in childhood was associated with childhood ADHD, which predicted lower adult SES, particularly for education. Co-twin analyses suggest the childhood ADHD-educational attainment association is not entirely attributable to genetic or familial confounds, whereas adult-onset ADHD showed weaker and less consistent patterns.
