Method: A quasi-experimental design was utilized. Eighty-five 4- to 12-year-old children with clinically significant ADHD symptoms participated: 55 were recruited from hospital clinics (active treatment group) and 30 were recruited from schools (waitlist control group). Parent and teacher ratings of ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), and conduct disorder (CD) symptoms and impairment were collected. Results: Using intent-to-treat analyses, the treatment group showed significant pre\u2013post improvement on parent-reported ODD symptoms and ADHD-related impairment. Teacher ratings showed no improvement. Conclusion: This study provides preliminary evidence for the feasibility and effectiveness of behavioral parenting training for children with ADHD in Pakistan and represents a critical first step in identifying evidence-based treatments for Pakistani children with ADHD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1087054714524158","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,12]],"date-time":"2014-03-12T21:27:33Z","timestamp":1394659653000},"page":"390-404","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Preliminary Efficacy of a Behavioral Parent Training Program for Children With ADHD in Pakistan"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Tamkeen Ashraf","family":"Malik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National University of Science and Technology, Islamabad, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mary","family":"Rooney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California, San Francisco, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Chronis-Tuscano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Maryland, College Park, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naeem","family":"Tariq","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Qauid E Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1087054714524158","unstructured":"Academy of Educational Planning and Management.
