This study reports findings at the end of the first year of a three-year prospective study of 84 hyperactive boys. A multidimensional approach to evaluation and an individualized multimodality treatment plan commensurate with each child's disabilities was used. Treatment plans were implemented by members of the research staff working together as a coordinated therapeutic team. Measures of the child's behavior at home and at school, academic performance, delinquent behavior, and emotional adjustment were obtained initially and at one year. Results suggest that the combination of a clinically useful medication with appropriate psychological treatments simultaneously directed to each of the child's many disabilities is associated with an unexpectedly good outcome. Whether this will continue to be true when these children are followed up over a longer period of time awaits further investigation.
本研究报告了一项针对84名多动男孩的为期三年的前瞻性研究第一年结束时的研究结果。采用了一种多维评估方法以及与每个孩子的残疾状况相匹配的个性化多模式治疗方案。治疗方案由作为一个协调治疗团队共同工作的研究人员实施。最初和一年时获取了孩子在家和在学校的行为、学业成绩、犯罪行为及情绪调适等方面的测量数据。结果表明,将一种临床有效的药物与针对孩子多种残疾状况同时进行的适当心理治疗相结合,会带来出人意料的良好效果。当对这些孩子进行更长时间的随访时,情况是否依然如此有待进一步研究。
