ADHDCoach-a virtual clinic for parents of children with ADHD: Development and usability study.

Attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common mental health problems in childhood. Despite the fact that evidence-based treatments exist, behavioral parent training programs are the gold standard in the care of children with ADHD, a significant percentage of parents of children with ADHD do not access such interventions. Internet-delivered interventions are effective for a range of mental health problems, however, there is limited research conducted on the efficacy of such interventions in the treatment of ADHD. The aim of this study is to present the development and feasibility of an Internet-delivered intervention for parents of children with ADHD. The intervention was based on Behavioral Parent Training and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy. Participants were mental health specialists ( = 16) and parents of children diagnosed with ADHD ( = 24). Our results indicated high usability and parental satisfaction with the intervention. In conclusion, an Internet-delivered intervention addressed to parents of children diagnosed with ADHD is a promising approach. Future research should investigate the efficacy of this Internet-delivered intervention in a randomized controlled trial.
