Screening for parent and child ADHD in urban pediatric primary care: pilot implementation and stakeholder perspectives.

ABSTRACT:

Background

ADHD commonly co-occurs in children and parents. When ADHD is untreated in parents, it contributes to negative child developmental and treatment outcomes. Screening for parent and child ADHD co-occurrence in pediatric primary care may be an effective strategy for early identification and treatment. There is no data on whether this screening model can be implemented successfully and there exists limited guidance on how to effectively approach parents about their own ADHD in pediatric settings. Even greater sensitivity may be required when engaging with families living in urban, low SES communities due to systemic inequities, mistrust, and stigma.

Methods

The current pilot study described the first 6 months of implementation of a parent and child ADHD screening prot
