Stimulant
Methylphenidate compounds and /or Amphetamine compounds and/or Strattera or Guanfacine +1 More for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
The purpose of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured aerobic exercise intervention for adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) with and without medication and compare it to medication alone. Participants will be randomly assigned to medication only + education, aerobic exercise intervention only, and combined aerobic exercise and medication groups. Participants will be evaluated at baseline, following medication optimization (for medicated groups), following 8 weeks of intervention, after 3 months of follow-up, and after 6 months of follow-up. The investigators hypothesize that the combined group will have the best outcome at all evaluation points and that treatment gains will be maintained throughout the follow-up period if the assigned treatments are continued.
Central Nervous System Stimulant
Aptensio XR for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of methylphenidate hydrochloride extended-release capsules (Aptensio XR®) in children aged 4-5 years who have been diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Safety and tolerability will be evaluated by assessing treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) blood pressure, pulse, height, weight, electrocardiograms (ECGs), laboratory The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term (12-month) safety and tolerability of Aptensio XR® in children aged 4 to less than 6 years who have been diagnosed with ADHD. Safety and tolerability will be evaluated by assessing treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) blood pressure, pulse, height, weight, electrocardiograms (ECGs), laboratory values and Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS). Disturbances in sleep (quantity and quality) patterns will also be assessed using the Child Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ).

Homeopathic Medicine
Individualized homeopathic medicine treatment +1 More for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
This trial will explore if homeopathic treatment is an effective treatment for ADHD, looking at the effects of homeopathic medicine, the homeopathic consultation, and an overall effect.
Behavioural Intervention
Cogmed Working Memory Training Program for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
The overall objective of the current study is to determine whether computerized Working Memory (WM) training will enhance WM capacity in college students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). There are also four additional objectives. The first is to investigate whether the program's efficacy is impacted by the duration of the daily training sessions. The second is to determine whether improvements in WM will generalize to secondary outcome tasks, such as inhibitory control and planning. The third objective is to examine whether WM training will also ameliorate ADHD symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity. The last objective is to investigate whether improvements will be maintained at a two month follow-up period. The investigators will also be assessing healthy control participants,who will not be receiving treatment, but will be used as a basis of comparison with the ADHD participants, It is expected that the computerized WM training program will enhance WM capacity in college students with ADHD. In addition, it is believed that these increases in WM capacity will also lead to improvements in other executive functions. It is also hypothesized that WM training will lead to a reduction in ADHD symptomology. Lastly, these improvements should be maintained at three month follow-up.
Corticosteroid
Atomoxetine for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
The purpose of this study is to find out if children with attention-deficit, hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have a difference in how their brain cells "fire" or react. The investigators also want to find if brain cell "firing" can tell us how severe of symptoms a child has from ADHD. Finally, the investigators want to see if giving an ADHD medication called atomoxetine can make the ADHD symptoms in a child better and if the improvement shows a change in brain "firing".
Cognitive Training
Cognitive Remediation +1 More for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
The objective of this study is to evaluate a novel sequenced combination of a promising, computerized cognitive training program targeting working memory (WM) deficits in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in combination with behavioral parent training, a well-established, evidence-based intervention for ADHD. The combined active intervention, compared to the combined control intervention will result in improvement in primary psychosocial (i.e., parent/teacher reported child impairment; parental stress; parenting behavior; and observed child academic achievement) and psychiatric (parent/teacher rated ADHD, ODD, and CD symptoms; observed activity level and attention) outcomes at post-treatment and follow up assessment, with the combined active intervention resulting in greater improvements in these outcomes.
Behavioural Intervention
Behavioral contingency management +1 More for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) comprise about 5-10% of the elementary school-age population. One place where children with ADHD have great difficulty is in being accepted by peers and in making friends. It has unfortunately been very difficult for the field to find good treatments for peer relationship problems for this population. Even when children with ADHD do improve their behavior, it is common that peers do not seem to like the child with ADHD any better. This may happen because children often have negative reputations with their classmates that are hard to change. That is, once a class of children get the impression that one child is disliked or the social outcast, even if that child's ADHD symptoms get better, the peer group may not notice any of these improvements. It is hypothesized that the elementary school teacher may be able to help peers notice positive behavior changes in children with ADHD when they do occur. This clinical trial will design and pilot-test an intervention that would train teachers in classroom practices to reduce the peer rejection of students with ADHD. The pilot test will be conducted in a summer program created to be similar to a regular school classroom in structure. If the treatment seems to succeed in the summer program, then it will be tried in regular classrooms in a future study.
Behavioural Intervention
Shared Care for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Due to the shortage of child psychiatrists and the high prevalence of child mental health disorder, pediatricians and other pediatric primary care providers often assume responsibility for the management of various psychiatric disorders, including ADHD, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. However, pediatricians have not been well-trained during residency to deal with the complexities of ADHD management. In addition, the system of care under which pediatricians practice do not afford the time availability that is required to properly manage a child with ADHD. On the other hand, if a pediatrician wishes to refer a patient to a child mental health specialist, many obstacles, including but not limited to stigma, insurance issues, and long waiting lists, often interfere with the patient actually receiving services for his/her ADHD. This research project seeks to examine an innovative model of care in which a child psychologist is located on the premises of a pediatric office and is available to share the care of patients with the pediatrician in order to address ADHD. We hypothesize that parents as well as pediatricians will be more satisfied with this model of care and that patients will ultimately have better outcomes. The beginning of our pilot has shown under-identification to be a barrier to care as well, and thus we propose to implement a quality improvement initiative to screen children for psychosocial issues as well. As we have had trouble with recruitment and unfortunately have had more children randomized to TAU than shared care, we propose in December 2007 a phase 2 of our study where all subjects, instead of randomization, are entered into shared care.

Central Nervous System Stimulant
Methylphenidate Transdermal System for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Among children, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is associated with an increased risk for accidents, especially bicycle and pedestrian (Leibson 2001; Jensen 1988; DiScala 1998). Anywhere from 40% to 80% of children diagnosed with ADHD continue to display symptoms of the disorder into adolescence(Barkley 1990; Gittelman 1985). Adolescents with ADHD are also at an increased risk for driving-related accidents, being 2 to 4 times more likely to experience a motor vehicle accident (Barkley 1993; Barkley 1996; Cox 2000), 4 times as likely to be at fault in the accident (Barkley 1993), and over 3 times more likely to incur associated injuries as a result of the accident(Murphy 1996). Stimulant treatment with immediate-release methylphenidate (IR MPH) has been demonstrated to improve driving performance in adolescents with ADHD. Hypothesis to be Tested: Main study: Just as stimulant medication improves simulation and on-road driving performance of ADHD teenagers, it is hypothesized that stimulant medication will improve routine driving performance. Substudy - Extended wear (15 hours) of Daytrana will lead to safer driving late in the evening (22:00 and 01:00), when the most dangerous driving mishaps are most likely to occur, and the next morning at 09:00.
