Multimodal Treatment Study for Children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (MTA) |
|
Funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, the MTA Study (Multimodal Treatment Study for Children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a multi-site treatment project dedicated to identifying the most effective treatment regimen for children with ADHD. Participating families were randomly assigned to one of four 14-month-long treatment conditions: medication management, intensive behavioral management, a combination of the aforementioned treatments, or assessment and referral to community providers. As a longitudinal study, the MTA conducts follow-up assessments on a biannual basis with each family involved (150 families total). |
