I2-ART Group
Control Group
I2-ART intervention will be modeled based on the Parent Empowerment Program model. It will use methods of adult learning, direct instruction to share knowledge or techniques for practice, group support, modeling, vicarious learning, and practice opportunities (i.e., role rehearsals). I2-ART training includes 40 hours of didactic and interactive sessions (10 sessions of 4 hours each) covering the following areas: 1) conceptual framework, 2) listening, engagement, and boundary-setting skills; 3) ADHD psychoeducation (e.g., diagnosis, treatment, shared decision-making tools), and 4) service options. The caregivers in the I2-ART group will receive the intervention for 3 months. The I2-ART will be implemented by the family navigators and will include a 2-hour face-to-face meeting, at least three monthly in-person meetings, and intermittent contact between in-person meetings by phone calls, texts or emails, as determined by the family navigator-caregiver dyad.
The caregivers in the control group will receive "usual care."
