Official title
Focus Groups to Optimize Research Methodology in a Multinutrient Study of Racially and Ethnically Diverse Children With ADHD and Emotional Dysregulation
Overview
Focus groups to identify treatment needs and barriers to participation in the planned multinutrient study among racially and ethnically diverse (Black and Hispanic) communities.
Detailed description
Focus group purpose is to understand parents' priorities regarding their child's mental health, and facilitators or barriers to research participation generally, with inquiry about CIH intervention use, and the multinutrient feasibility study specifically. Researchers will engage Black and Hispanic families in focus groups to discuss mental health priorities related to their children, and real or perceived barriers to engagement in research studies. The feedback will inform the final design and recruitment for the multinutrient feasibility study in Black and Hispanic populations. One group will comprise individuals who self-identify as Hispanic, another, as Black, in order to create space to hear perspectives that may differ between broadly defined groups.
