The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a new adjunctive intervention, Parent-Educator Action Response (PEAR), works to improve teacher and family engagement in school-based interventions for child attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and disruptive behavior symptoms. This clinical trial will also be used to refine implementation procedures to inform a larger clinical trial.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial is listed as 'enrolling by invitation only' — can you help me understand how someone gets invited to participate, and whether our situation might qualify for that kind of referral?
2The main thing this study is measuring is something called a 'Daily Report Card Check-In' — can you explain what that involves day-to-day for my child and our family, and whether that level of ongoing tracking feels realistic for us?
3Since this study is listed as Phase NA, which often means it's a behavioral or systems-level intervention rather than a drug trial, can you walk me through what's actually being tested here and how it differs from standard treatment approaches for attention deficit and disruptive behavior disorders?
4Before considering this study, should we first try or exhaust standard treatments for my child's condition, or is participating in something like this something that could happen alongside current care?
5This trial involves both parents and educators working together — how much coordination with my child's school would be required, and is that something you think would be feasible given our current relationship with the school?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
