PAINT-IPDMA
A great deal of research is being conducted worldwide on behavioral treatments for children with ADHD and behavioral problems. In the PAINT-IPDMA project, we are combining data from many different studies to thoroughly investigate why and for whom treatments work best
What is the goal of the study?
In the PAINT-IPDMA (Individual Participant Data Meta-Analysis) project, we conduct meta-analyses to gain insight into treatments for children with behavioral problems. Our goal is to explore which factors contribute to the effectiveness of treatments and which (components of) treatments work best for whom.
How is the study structured?
Numerous studies are being conducted globally on treatments for children with behavioral problems. In an IPDMA, the data from each individual family that participated in such a study are collected into one large dataset. With this dataset, we investigate which families respond better or less well to which treatments.
