Abstract

One of the bigger clinical challenges in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been translating robust acute treatment effects into sustained improvement. The Multimodal Treatment Study of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (MTA) found limited evidence for long-term benefits of study-based treatment.¹ Although it is not surprising that medication effects wane after treatment has been stopped, psychosocial treatments offer the enticement of skill development that is potentially more likely to translate into sustained benefit after treatment cessation. There is some evidence for this with parenting interventions applied in early childhood, but less so specifically for ADHD.².

期刊介绍： The Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry (JAACAP) is dedicated to advancing the field of child and adolescent psychiatry through the publication of original research and papers of theoretical, scientific, and clinical significance. Our primary focus is on the mental health of children, adolescents, and families. We welcome unpublished manuscripts that explore various perspectives, ranging from genetic, epidemiological, neurobiological, and psychopathological research, to cognitive, behavioral, psychodynamic, and other psychotherapeutic investigations. We also encourage submissions that delve into parent-child, interpersonal, and family research, as well as clinical and empirical studies conducted in inpatient, outpatient, consultation-liaison, and school-based settings. In addition to publishing research, we aim to promote the well-being of children and families by featuring scholarly papers on topics such as health policy, legislation, advocacy, culture, society, and service provision in relation to mental health. At JAACAP, we strive to foster collaboration and dialogue among researchers, clinicians, and policy-makers in order to enhance our understanding and approach to child and adolescent mental health.
