| Outline of Research at the Start |
Children with ADHD have been shown to demonstrate altered reinforcement sensitivity. This has important implications for the reinforcement-based behavioral management strategies. The research aims to translate empirical findings into modifications for behavioral treatment for children with ADHD.
|
| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Experimental findings from behavioral and neuroimaging studies indicate children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) respond differently to reward and punishment than their typically developing peers. The current research aims to translate empirical findings on altered reinforcement sensitivity in ADHD into the behavioral management of children demonstrating elevated levels of inattention and/or hyperactivity/impulsivity.
Behavioral management programs have been recognized and promoted by Japanese governmental agencies and mental health professionals as an effective means to support families with children who are experiencing behavioral difficulties. However, challenges remain in reaching families who may benefit from such programs.
Through a review of experimental literature and using a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach, we have developed a pilot behavioral management program that emphasizes accessible content and delivery. Practical strategies are taught via short, animated videos, delivered over LINE, together with daily reinforcements. We are currently evaluating the feasibility and preliminary effects of this revised behavioral management program.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
Based on the review of the relevant literature, consultation with leading researchers in the field of ADHD, and repeated discussion with community partners, we have identified the needs of families who may benefit from behavioral management support but have difficulty accessing existing programs. In effort to meet the identified needs, we have developed a pilot program, together with the community partners. Six short, animated videos introduce practical behavioral management strategies around a commonly reported, and empirically identified, behavior challenge among children with ADHD. The videos are delivered via LINE over a three-week period, together with daily check-ins with encouraging messages and additional problem-solving strategies.
The data collection for a proof-of-concept study to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of the pilot program is ongoing. Community partners have participated in the planning and execution of the study.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
We plan to complete the data collection of a proof-of-concept study in FY2024. The study results will be summarized and shared with researchers as well as community members. Adjustments to the program content and delivery methodology will be made based on the study findings.
