ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChange From Baseline to 24 Weeks in the Conners' Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale - Investigator Rated: Screening Version (CAARS-Inv:SV) Total ADHD Symptoms ScoreBaseline, 24 weeks
30-item scale containing 3 subscales: inattention (9 items), hyperactivity/ impulsivity (9 items), and ADHD Index (12 items). Each item is scored 0-3 (0=not at all/never; 1=just a little/once in a while; 2=pretty much/often; 3=very much/very frequently). Total ADHD symptoms score=sum of the inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity subscales. Total Scores range from 0-54 (range of 0-27 for the inattention and hyperactivity subscales; 0-36 for the ADHD Index) with higher scores indicating more impaired participants. The scale was administered by a physician/PhD at the investigative site.

SecondaryChange From Baseline to 8 Weeks in the Family Assessment Measure Version III (FAM) Dyadic Relationship Scale (DRS) - ParticipantBaseline, 8 weeks
FAM consists of 3 components: General Scale; Dyadic Relationships Scale (DRS), and Self-Rating Scale. Participants completed the DRS scale, a 42-item self-report scale providing quantitative indices of family strengths/weaknesses. Items are rated 0-3 (strongly agree, agree, disagree, strongly disagree). Raw scores=0-18 (each subscale) and are converted to a t-score (mean=50, standard deviation (SD)=10; scores range from 0-100). T-scores should be between 40-60. T-scores \>=60 indicate disturbance in family functioning.

SecondaryChange From Baseline to 8 Weeks in the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) - ParticipantBaseline, 8 weeks
32-item self-report scale to assess quality of the relationship perceived by participants. Response anchors vary and include a 5-, 6- or 7-point Likert scale (always agree/disagree; all the time/never); and 2 yes/no items. Assesses 4 relationship aspects (# items): dyadic satisfaction (10), cohesion (5), consensus (13), affectional expression (4). Raw score total=0-151 and is converted to a t-score (0-100; mean=50, standard deviation (SD)=10). T-scores of 45-55 indicate a typical score (no concern). Scores \<30 indicate significant impairment. Lower scores indicate poorer dyadic adjustment.
