This systematic review and meta-analysis investigates the effect of a variety of nonpharmacological interventions on social functioning in adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
11 studies included in the systematic review; 8 studies included in the meta-analysis
Non-pharmacological social interventions had no significant effect on social functioning in adolescents with ADHD per parent or teacher report. The majority of studies (6 of 8) included in the meta-analysis investigated variations of the Challenging Horizons Program (CHP), an intervention targeting social, academic, and organizational functioning. Further research is indicated due to an overall pauticty of evidence.
