| 研究実績の概要 |
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 identified revision points for the content and delivery methodology of the existing behavioral management materials for parents of children with ADHD. Together with community stakeholders, we are developing a pilot program incorporating these revisions. We will evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effects of the revised behavioral management program.

理由
We have reviewed the relevant literature and consulted with leading researchers in the field of ADHD and behavioral management training. We have met with community partners to discuss the needs of the community, the content of the parenting program, and possible modes of implementation. Identified needs include: reducing the stigma of neurodevelopmental disorders, reaching families who are struggling with their child’s behavioral difficulties but are reluctant to seek help, and creating opportunities for parents to support each other. Our community partners emphasize that parents may hesitate to engage with evidence-based behavioral strategies unless they feel safe and supported. The consensus was that the program should consider the specific needs of children with ADHD, while being inclusive of all parents who show interests in learning behavioral strategies. Community partners also expressed the content be easily understood and readily accessed, in this case via electronic media.
We are currently developing the content for a pilot behavioral management program targeting parents of children with behavioral challenges. We have paid special attention to the accessibility of the program. Families living in Japan have become increasingly diverse. The intervention and support programs should consider the possibility of multiple language adaptations from the beginning phase of the program development.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
We plan to complete the content development of the pilot behavioral management program and are preparing for data collection for a feasibility study in FY2023. The data collection format and measurements will be decided together with the CBPR participants. The feasibility study will be carried out, and the study results will be summarized and shared with researchers as well as community members in FY 2024. Adjustments to the program content and delivery methodology will be made based on the study findings.

| 次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
Extensive discussions were held with community members to reach consensus on the behavioral management program content. Given the expressed interest in creating accessible content demonstrating practical parenting strategies through short videos, we carried over some of the FY22 funding to FY23 so that there is sufficient funding to cover video production cost, together with the funding originally allocated for FY23.
