Family Navigation to Improve ADHD Treatment Adherence for Minority Children

Based on the Parent Empowerment Program model, I2-ART will use methods of adult learning, direct instruction to share knowledge or techniques for practice, modeling, vicarious learning, and practice opportunities (i.e., role rehearsals). The research team will provide the family navigators with 3 months of I2-ART training, including 40 hours of didactic and interactive sessions (10 sessions of 4 hours each). Following training, the family navigators will implement the 3-month I2-ART intervention with the caregivers, including 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.
