About this trial
RAMP is a pilot study examining the use of an Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Monitoring Program during the early stages of treating ADHD in children living in rural settings. This trial will enroll 36 caregiver/infant dyads across 2 sites and will evaluate feasibility endpoints rather than clinical outcomes. Enrolled participants will be randomized 1:1 to the intervention group (RAMP reports) or control group (digital education handouts). The study duration is 10 months, including start-up, enrollment and intervention, and data analysis and manuscript submission.
