Using deployment-focused research methods, Dr. Spencer will develop and test feasibility of an ADHD Family Engagement Intervention
Using deployment-focused research methods, Dr. Spencer will develop and test feasibility of an ADHD Family Engagement Intervention designed to improve treatment engagement and quality of life, reduce symptoms and decrease disparities in ADHD care.
Dr. Spencer will develop an ADHD Family Engagement Intervention for diverse children in primary care with the input of key stakeholders (families, providers, support staff, school personnel) using a mixed-methods approach. She will undertake a pilot test of the intervention to assess feasibility, acceptability and impact on intervention targets, with treatment engagement as the primary outcome.
