Abstract

Children with DBDs experience increased academic and social challenges. The MFG service delivery model, for families of youth with DBDs, was developed. This current study seeks to examine how the presence of ADHD moderates the outcomes for families who go through the MFG intervention. This analysis included families who were enrolled in the MFG intervention. Children were grouped by ADHD severity to examine how symptom severity moderates various behavioral outcomes. Results showed that several outcomes were moderated by ADHD severity. These results indicate that ADHD severity can have an impact on certain treatment outcomes, both positively and negatively.
