ADHD Symptoms

ADHD Symptoms
Swanson, Nolan and Pelham scale (SNAP-IV)
Patient Medication Adherence
Timely prescribed refills of ADHD medications - assessed through the EHR - will provide an accurate picture of medication adherence from the perspective of prescription writing. In addition, we will administer the validated Medication Adherence Scale, which has good reliability among parents of urban children with asthma

Time to Symptom Improvement
Based on follow-up ADHD symptom scales administered at regular intervals by our care managers, we will quantify the time between initial diagnosis and definitive improvement - conventionally defined by a 25% symptom reduction from baseline

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of two care models on ADHD outcomes: one, a model of basic care management and structured communication with specialists, consistent with conventional descriptions of a patient-centered Medical Home; and another, which combines the Medical Home with theory-based care management strategies to address common reasons for ADHD treatment failure.
