This pilot study investigated the acceptability and feasibility of a novel, health behavior-, and technology-adapted BMT (LEAP) vs. standard BMT. Methods The weekly 9-session LEAP telemedicine group program is based on a standard BMT curriculum enhanced with strategies for supporting optimal child sleep, problematic media use (PMU), and physical activity, including wrist-worn activity trackers. Children ages 6–10 years with ADHD and their caregivers were randomized to LEAP or standard BMT. Acceptability and feasibility were tracked. Caregivers completed standardized measures, and children wore hip-worn accelerometers for 1 week at baseline, postintervention (10 weeks), and follow-up (20 weeks). Results 84 parent/child dyads were randomized to LEAP or standard BMT, with high and comparable acceptability and feasibility. Both treatment groups demonstrated decreased ADHD symptoms and improved executive functions postintervention (p < .0001), maintained at follow-up. Average accelerometer-measured MVPA decreased and sleep duration remained unchanged, while PMU and bedtime resistance improved for both groups. Conclusions LEAP is highly feasible and acceptable, and yielded similar initial clinical and health behavior improvements to standard BMT. Innovative and targeted supports are needed to promote healthy behaviors in children with ADHD.","PeriodicalId":48372,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Psychology","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142260185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Institutions have invested in the integrated primary care (IPC) treatment model with the goal of improving treatment access and promoting child mental health equity.OBJECTIVEThis study compared treatment attendance in an outpatient psychiatry clinic (OPC) versus an IPC clinic to assess whether the IPC was associated with reduced disparities in access to care and treatment retention.METHODSThis study assessed whether there were differences in who is connected to care from the intake appointment to first follow-up appointment.RESULTSResults showed that the IPC clinic served a more diverse patient population than the OPC clinic in terms of SES, race, and ethnicity. Differences in treatment attendance in the IPC and OPC were also found. After controlling for race, ethnicity, insurance, and distance from patient's home zip code to clinic, the IPC treatment setting was associated with poorer intake and follow-up appointment attendance.CONCLUSIONSThe IPC model may be more accessible to historically underserved youth, but the treatment setting does not inherently eliminate disparities in child mental health treatment retention. Replication of this study has the potential to contribute to the external validity of study findings, improve quality assurance policies, and develop equitable workflow policies. Future research is needed to identify factors that can improve treatment attendance for populations who face greater retention barriers and to shine light on ways that healthcare systems may inadvertently maintain disparity in treatment retention.","PeriodicalId":48372,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Psychology","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142196366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
