Behavioral treatments are effective for reducing the symptoms of attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), as well as behavioral problems and impairment, based on rater reports, according to a meta‐analysis from Dutch researchers. The meta‐analysis looked at individual participant data, including data from randomized controlled trials of behavioral interventions. All participants were under 18 years, and outcomes were ADHD symptoms, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), conduct disorder (CD), and impairment.
