Underrepresentation and moderation of parent education levels in ADHD psychosocial treatment trials: A meta-analysis
Objective
We sought to ascertain the representativeness of psychosocial treatment trials for youth with ADHD in terms of parent education (PE) and race and to determine whether these study characteristics moderated treatment outcomes.
Method
High-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of psychosocial treatments for children and adolescents with ADHD conducted in the U.S. and published between 2007 and 2025 were included in this study if they reported PE (% of parents with a college degree or higher) and race/ethnicity.
Results
A total of 46 studies were included, representing 5837 participants. Between 48 % and 52 % of parents had a college degree or higher, compared to 38 % in the U.S. population. Two-thirds of studies overrepresented highly educated parents. Samples were generally representative of diverse races and ethnicity, although this appeared driven by the 35 % of studies that oversampled racially minoritized youth whereas 26 % underrepresented racially minoritized youth. Subgroup meta-analyses indicated treatment was only superior to control conditions in reducing ADHD symptoms in samples with highly educated parents. For race, treatment was only associated with significant effects on hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms among racially-representative samples who also had high PE.
Conclusion
These findings question the effectiveness of psychosocial interventions for youth with ADHD for families of diverse educational backgrounds. There is a dire need to recruit more diverse samples in terms of PE, and to develop interventions that are effective for families across all educational backgrounds.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Psychology Review serves as a platform for substantial reviews addressing pertinent topics in clinical psychology. Encompassing a spectrum of issues, from psychopathology to behavior therapy, cognition to cognitive therapies, behavioral medicine to community mental health, assessment, and child development, the journal seeks cutting-edge papers that significantly contribute to advancing the science and/or practice of clinical psychology.
While maintaining a primary focus on topics directly related to clinical psychology, the journal occasionally features reviews on psychophysiology, learning therapy, experimental psychopathology, and social psychology, provided they demonstrate a clear connection to research or practice in clinical psychology. Integrative literature reviews and summaries of innovative ongoing clinical research programs find a place within its pages. However, reports on individual research studies and theoretical treatises or clinical guides lacking an empirical base are deemed inappropriate for publication.
