Comparator Agent  intervention vs control  Drug naive Children aged 4-12 years diagnosed with ADHD as per DSM 5 , receiving TAU/standard care, attending the child and adolescent psychiatry services and advanced paediatric centre will be approached. These children and their parents will be explained the purpose of the study in brief. Those agreeing to participate in it will be inducted and tools (DSM 5) will be applied as a screening tool. Parents will be explained about the aims and objectives of the study and a written consent will be taken from the parents whereas assent from child will be taken. Diagnosis of ADHD will be confirmed using MINI KID (7.2.0) and children will also be screened for any other neurodevelopmental disorder and/or any other psychiatric disorder using the same instrument. A number of approximately 50 children will be included (based on inclusion and exclusion criteria ) out of which 2 groups will be formulated based on Randomisation (random allocation concealment); 25 children in each group Group A - Intervention group n=50 children and their parents) Group B – Control group n=50 children and their parents  
Intervention  To study the efficacy of group based parent skill training intervention in children with Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; A randomised , tele-based study   Aim: To study the efficacy of group-based parent skill training intervention (PSTI)in children with ADHD receiving standard care (i.e. intervention group) vs Children with ADHD receiving Standard care alone (i.e., control group) in clinical setting. Objectives: Primary : To compare efficacy of groups receiving PSTI (Parent skill training interventions) with standard care versus standard care alone on SDQ Secondary: A. To assess the efficacy of PSTI on parent related parameters (Parenting ,parenting stress ,parental child interaction) B. Child related parameters (Behavioural problems and functioning) Null Hypothesis: There will be no change in core symptoms of ADHD measured on SDQ total score in children with ADHD receiving parent training interventions in the clinic over time. Alternative Hypothesis: There will be change in core symptoms of ADHD measured on SDQ total score in children with ADHD receiving parent training interventions in the clinic over time.

Brief Summary  

There is a very low number of studies involving ADHD children, particularly in low-middle/developing countries, with a few studies from India even though, a substantial population of children with ADHD  have behavioural problems. Given WHO’s imperative to generate cross-cultural evidence for the efficacy of interventions crucial from a public health perspective, it becomes necessary to address this research gap. Preliminary groundwork on adaptation, acceptability, and feasibility of such interventions as well as an open label ,non-randomised trial has already been undertaken increasing the need for broader studies to inform effective and culturally sensitive interventions for children with ADHD in diverse settings.No RCT has been done in India
