HOPS Study: A Conceptual Replication
United States240 participantsStarted 2021-10-25
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this current study is to conduct a conceptual replication with an independent evaluation team of the randomized controlled trial conducted by Langberg and colleagues, which demonstrated the efficacy of the Homework, Organization, and Planning Skills (HOPS) intervention. The study will be conducted under routine practice conditions with school staff serving as interventionists; the study sample will include the broad range of students with organization, time management, and planning problems. The study will examine how implementation factors (fidelity, engagement, working alliance) are related to outcomes, and it will explore the potential moderating role of school organization factors on outcomes.

Change in Student Functioning at School
Timeframe: Baseline, 4 calendar months after baseline, 5 school months after baseline, 12 calendar months after baseline
✕. Students with a one-to-one aide will be excluded because the presence of an aide substantially alters how an organizational intervention is implemented.
✕. Students from families in which both caregivers do not speak English will be excluded because the program has not yet been developed for non-English speakers.
✕. Students who may have participated in HOPS before (as it is a commercially-available program) is not eligible to participate in this study.
✕. Parents who are not fluent in English are excluded since at this time because the intervention and many of the study outcome measures are not available in other languages.
