    Author: Sibley MH, Smith BH, Evans SW, Pelham WE, Gnagy EM.
    Journal: J Atten Disord; 2012 Aug; 16(6):443-8. PubMed ID: 22344319.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: There are presently almost no empirically validated treatments for adolescents with ADHD. However, in childhood, behavioral treatments for ADHD typically include behavioral parent training, classroom interventions, and intensive child-directed interventions. METHOD: The present investigation examines treatment gains following an 8-week intensive summer day treatment program for adolescents with ADHD (STP-A). Baseline measures of functioning and parent improvement ratings were obtained for 34 STP-A participants. RESULTS: Parent ratings indicated that adolescents who attended the STP-A improved across all target domains. Across domains, 63.0% to 90.9% of adolescents improved during the STP-A. There was no evidence of iatrogenic effects during the STP-A. Correlates of treatment response included adolescent effort, oppositional-defiant behavior, and cognitive/scholastic functioning. CONCLUSION: Findings are discussed with regard to effective treatment delivery for adolescents with ADHD.
